Antaira LMX-0600-V2 6-Port Fast Ethernet Managed Industrial Switches with Extended Temperature Options

When a supply fails in a remote cabinet, the first anyone often hears of it is a gap in the SCADA data. A managed switch that reports its own power loss, keeps its ring healthy and separates traffic into VLANs gives an engineer something to act on before that happens. The Antaira LMX-0600-V2 series does this across six Fast Ethernet ports in an IP30 DIN rail case.

Both models share one design. Six 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports switch store-and-forward on a 1.2 Gbps fabric with an 8K MAC table, a 4 Mbit buffer and 9.6 KB jumbo frames. The Layer 2+ firmware covers IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, QoS with eight priority queues, IGMP snooping for up to 1024 groups, LACP, LLDP, port mirroring, sFlow, RMON and NTP, and Version 2 hardware adds static routes between VLANs with DHCP Option 82. ITU-T G.8032 ERPS restores a broken ring in under 50 ms, with STP, RSTP and MSTP available. Redundant 12 to 48 V DC inputs land on a 6-contact terminal block, and a power lost warning drives a 24 V DC, 1 A relay contact.

Choose by temperature. The LMX-0600-V2 is the standard build, rated -10 °C to 70 °C for heated or indoor cabinets. The LMX-0600-T-V2 is the extended temperature build, rated -40 °C to 75 °C for unheated outstations, roadside enclosures and kiosks. For one fewer port the Antaira LMX-0500-V2 series follows the same pattern, and the LMX-0601G-SFP-V2 series moves to gigabit copper with an SFP slot for fibre.

Antaira names factory automation, ITS, power and utility, and water and wastewater as typical applications, and builds the LMX-0600-V2 series with high EFT and ESD protection, overload and reverse polarity protection and a 7.5 W draw. Each case is tested for shock to IEC 60068-2-27, vibration to IEC 60068-2-6 and free fall to IEC 60068-2-32, with storage from -40 °C to 85 °C and 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity. Each switch is managed through the web console, Telnet, SSH or CLI, with an RS232 console port on RJ45. The series is UL 61010-1 certified, carries FCC and CE marks, is RoHS compliant and comes with Antaira’s 5-year warranty, and we can pre-configure IP addressing, VLANs and ring settings before dispatch.
