N-Tron Ethernet Switch

With NT4008 Layer 2 switches, the power of PROFINET real-time data exchange meets the performance and trusted reliability only Red Lion can deliver, helping ensure the success of Industry 4.0 initiatives worldwide. Process more data from more devices in real time with Red Lion’s NT4008 Layer 2 PROFINET switches. Built to effortlessly manage next-generation bandwidths and speeds, NT4008 switches help both simplify and accelerate your Industry 4.0 transition to deliver powerful new competitive advantages.

NT4008 Layer 2 switches feature standard 10/100/1000 copper Ethernet ports and available dual mode SFP slots on the NT 4008-DM2 series for Fast/Gigabit Ethernet copper and fiber transceivers to meet your current and future needs.

Thanks to an embedded PROFINET stack and GDSML file, you can continue using standard PROFINET PLC configuration and management tools.

Conformance Class B (CC-B) certification means NT4008 switches can be fully managed, offering real-time data exchange, alarms, and diagnostics through PROFINET tools.

Data exchange includes quality and asset management, allowing for proactive and predictive maintenance to help minimize equipment downtime.

Both NT4008 models are available in either MRP manager or MRP client configurations.

IP-30 metal DIN-Rail enclosures, redundant 12–58 VDC power inputs, wide -40 to 75°C operating temperature ranges, and up to 50G shock resistance handle even the most extreme conditions and circumstances.

NT4008 switches are UL Class 1, Division 2 and ATEX listed for use in hazardous and ordinary locations, ABS certified for shipboard applications and EN50155 certified for rail applications, ensuring reliable operation in nearly any environment.
