Westermo RedFox-5728-E-F16G-T12G-HV Managed Ethernet Switch

RedFox-5728 takes communication reliability for substations to a new level. We know that in critical substation automation applications, even the loss of a single piece of data can disturb the operations, and that is why RedFox-5728 brings the highest reliability to your network. Withstanding the toughest environmental conditions, including the high EMI levels derived from load-switching lightning strikes and extreme ambient temperatures, RedFox-5728 ensures 100% uptime, no matter what.

IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards define the requirements and test levels for networking devices. They specify two different device reliability classes: Class 1 devices, which allow for communication errors; and Class 2 devices, which do not allow loss of a single transmission package even during the highest electromagnetic disturbances (EMI). RedFox-5728 meets or exceeds all test levels for Class 2 fulfillment, attaining KEMA-type test gold certification, and ensuring zero downtime, communication losses, delays, or errors.

Superior build quality, the exclusive use of industrial grade components, and extensive in-house testing results in class-leading MTBF and extended service life. Designed to run efficiently from either one or two power inputs, with dual internal power supplies fully isolated from each other and all other interfaces. The 28-port switch has all connectors located at the front for easy access and a range of different port configurations, customizable with SFP transceivers.
