Introduction
The Sixnet EL228 is a 28 port (24 + 4G) industrial Ethernet managed switch
designed to meet the extreme requirements of power substations, traff c 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 f ber or copper links can be mixed and matched on
the f y to provide the ultimate in port f exibility. Sixnet’s universal mounting features
LEDs, power/ground connections, console ports and bracket positions on both
the front and back of the switch for quick and easy 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.
