IS420ESWBH2A Industrial Ethernet switch

The functions of GE IS420ESWBH2A mainly include the following aspects:

Ethernet /IONet Switch Function: This device acts as an Ethernet switch and is able to process packets from different devices, ensuring that they are transmitted correctly and efficiently across the network. It also supports IONet, a networking protocol GE developed for its industrial automation systems to transfer information between control devices.
Multimode Fiber ports: The GE IS420ESWBH2A is equipped with two 100Base-FX multimode fiber ports that provide high-speed, stable data transmission regardless of the mode of LC connection the fiber port has.
RJ45 connectors: The switch also has RJ45 connectors that are able to withstand high pressures and should be able to use up to 200 insert/remove cycles. This means that the switch has good durability and reliability when it is necessary to connect or disconnect devices frequently.
Buffering multicast and broadcast packet streams: Standard operations for the GE IS420ESWBH2A will focus on the ability to buffer multicast and broadcast packet streams. This helps reduce network congestion and latency, ensuring timely transmission of data packets.
Surge current protection: The surge current of the switch will provide a soft start, helping to limit the surge current to less than 200 percent of the normal operating current. This protects the device from damage caused by electrical shocks.
High reliability and scalability: The switch has the characteristics of high reliability, easy configuration and debugging, and high scalability. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of industrial automation equipment and systems that can be easily integrated into existing network architectures.
Overall, the GE IS420ESWBH2A is a powerful and stable Ethernet switch that provides an efficient, stable and reliable data communication solution for industrial automation systems.
