Garrettcom releases bracket for Ethernet switches

Garrettcom Europe has introduced a retrofittable slotted bracket for its 6KQ range of Ethernet switches, to eliminate the possibility of cables coming loose in high-vibration environments.

The slotted bracket attaches to one of the 6KQ's screw-mounting points, allowing all cables to be held securely in place with standard cable ties.

The bracket secures fibre optic connectors and power connectors.

It is already being used in the rail industry and is suitable for other transport industries and for machinery.

The 6KQ is a rugged and compact managed field switch that can be configured with up to 12 100Mb fibre ports.

The 6KQ has been developed for small form factor Gbit Ethernet switches.

It is sealed to IP53 for dust and water resistance.

It can be configured with user-selected combinations of 10Mb, 100Mb and Gbit fibre ports of any connector type.

Copper port options include 10/100/1000 RJ-45 and up to eight 10/100 PoE (power over Ethernet) ports.

The 6KQ can easily handle stressful workload mixtures of high-burst data traffic and priority streaming traffic.

It uses a ribbed aluminium case to dissipate heat, eliminating the need for fan cooling.

The 6KQ is certified for use in hazardous environments such as those found in oil and gas, mining and chemical plants.

It has the option of a tie-wrap bracket.
