TN-5516/5518 Series Introduction
1-2
Overview
The ToughNet TN-5516/5518 series M12 managed Ethernet switches are designed for industrial applications in
harsh environments. The TN series switches use M12 connectors to ensure tight, robust connections, and
guarantee reliable operation against environmental disturbances, such as vibration and shock. The wide
selection of 12/24/36/48 VDC, 72/96/110 VDC, or 110/220 VDC/VAC dual redundant power supplies increases
the reliability of your communications. TN-5500 switches provide up to 16 fast Ethernet M12 ports.
TN-5518 switches provide up to 16 fast Ethernet M12 ports, and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the bottom panel
which provide a bypass relay option. Models with an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C are
also available. The TN-5500/5518 series Ethernet switches are compliant with EN50155/50121-3-2/50121-4
(railway applications), NEMA TS2 (traffic control systems), and e-Mark (vehicles) requirements, making the
switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
