Antaira LMX-1600G 16-Port Gigabit Managed Industrial Network Switches with Extended Temperature Options

Not every cabinet needs fibre. Where a production line, a control panel or a substation bay has 16 copper devices and the ring runs over copper too, extra SFP slots only add cost. The Antaira LMX-1600G series is a family of managed industrial network switches with gigabit RJ45 on all 16 ports, Light Layer 3 routing and ring redundancy, on a DIN rail.

Each LMX-1600G has 16 10/100/1000Tx RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X, on a 32 Gbps switching fabric. Switching is store-and-forward with an 8K MAC table, a 4 Mbit packet buffer and 9.6K jumbo frames. Light Layer 3 adds static routes and DHCP option 82 to the Layer 2 feature set, so traffic can pass between subnets without a separate router. ITU-T G.8032 ERPS v1/v2 restores a broken ring in under 50 ms, with STP, RSTP, MSTP and LACP trunking, and the firmware covers VLAN, QoS with DSCP, IGMP and MLD snooping, DHCP snooping, LLDP, sFlow, RMON and Modbus TCP. Access is secured with 802.1X, SNMP v3, HTTPS and SSHv2, and an RS232 console in RJ45 plus USB 2.0 configuration backup help with set-up and swaps.

The series offers two temperature grades. The LMX-1600G is the standard build, rated -10 °C to 70 °C for heated cabinets and indoor panels, and the LMX-1600G-T is the extended temperature build, rated -40 °C to 75 °C for unheated outdoor enclosures. Both draw 13.8 W and list FCC, CE, UL 61010-1, NEMA TS2 and IEC 61850-3 Edition 2.0, the substation standard.

Antaira names power and utility, water and wastewater, oil, gas and mining, factory automation, security surveillance within transportation and ITS as applications for the LMX-1600G series, typically on SCADA and control networks. Every build runs on redundant 12 to 48 V DC inputs through removable terminal blocks, with overload current and reverse polarity protection, in an IP30 metal housing for DIN rail or wall mounting. Antaira lists IEC 60068-2-27 shock and IEC 60068-2-6 vibration, storage from -40 °C to 85 °C and 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity, and covers the series with its 5-year warranty. If you ask, we can pre-configure IP addressing, VLANs and ring settings before delivery.
