EL228 Rack-Mount
Heavy Industrial Ethernet Managed Switch
The Sixnet EL228 is a 28 port (24 + 4G) industrial Ethernet managed switch designed to
meet the extreme requirements of power substations, traffic control, railway and other harsh
environments. It combines the high performance and security of an enterprise-class switch
with rugged packaging and protected circuitry to meet the needs of the most demanding
applications.
24 fast Ethernet SFP ports for fiber or copper links can be mixed and matched on the fly to
provide the ultimate in port flexibility. Sixnet’s universal mounting features LEDs, power/
ground connections, console ports and bracket positions on both the front and back of the
switch simplify ordering and deployment. By combining all of these features in one hardened
package, the EL228 provides users with the lowest total cost of ownership of any industrial
Ethernet switch in its class.
