The INS-802/INS-802W Industrial Series Switch is a hardened,
8-port Ethernet Switch with dual fiber uplinks and redundant DC
power inputs – to provide a reliable and economical solution for
your industrial Ethernet environment. With its dry contact smart
alarm, the INS-802/802W can initiate a physical alarm (audible
and/or visible) in the event of a malfunction. The Switch
operates in a wide temperature range, from -10°C to 70°C
(from -40°C in the case of the 802W), and is designed to handle
higher than normal degrees of vibration and shock, making it
suitable for harsh industrial environments.
