Overview / Buoyant platform
Sealed switching for
rail networks in motion.
Buoyant-12PL2 is a sealed railway Ethernet switch for carriage-side, bay-side and exposed industrial deployments. Its aluminium IP67 housing protects the switching platform from harsh field conditions.
Eight X-coded M12 Gigabit ports can power cameras and other onboard devices, while four SFP slots connect the carriage network to a fiber backbone without copper repeaters.
Product highlights
- IP67 aluminium enclosure
- Eight X-coded M12 Gigabit PoE ports
- Four Gigabit SFP slots
- Redundant power inputs and dual alarm relays
