5970 Belden’s latest unmanaged Ethernet switch, the Hirschmann Octopus 8TX-EEC, is an 8-port, compact, easy-to-implement device that enables reliable data transmission and increases IT security through its configurable feature set. For engineers, system integrators and machine builders running smaller industrial networks, the new switch provides a simple-to-install and space-saving solution for specific application needs. Due to its ruggedised metal housing, the device not only performs well in the transportation industry for use in onboard road vehicles, metros and trains, but also in general manufacturing, machine building and automotive applications.

With an IP67/65 rating, this compact solution can easily be mounted anywhere, without the need for protective cabinets. The switch can also withstand harsh conditions, including dirt, dust, vibrations, and water, as well as extreme temperatures.
