Belden Hirschmann OCTOPUS 8TX series

Specially designed for use at field level with automation networks, the switch and routers in the OCTOPUS family ensure the highest industrial protection ratings (IP67 and IP65) regarding mechanical stress, humidity, dirt, dust, shock and vibrations. They are also capable of withstanding heat and cold, while fulfilling the strictest fire prevention requirements.

The rugged design of the Octopus switches and routers are ideal for installing directly on the machinery, outside of control cabinets and distribution boxes. The switches and routers can be cascaded as often as required -0 permitting implementation of decentralized networks with short paths to the respective devices, therefore considerably reducing costs for cabling.
