Canoga Perkins Corporation Eight Port Ethernet Switch Model HS8000

When Ethernet LAN switches need to move out of temperature controlled friendly offices and into harsh environments with inhospitably high or low temperatures, the HS8000 Managed Switch is the solution. Software for the HS8000 Switch provides network management support based on industry standards. Use this feature in existing or mixed-vendor Ethernet LAN applications. The intuitive menu-driven software supports managed edge-switch functions including SNMP management, QoS, Telnet, Password Security, Port Settings Control, Spanning Tree Protocol, Port-based VLANs, BootP / DHCP and a helpful easy to follow GUI. Designed to operate in temperature uncontrolled applications, the HS8000 case was engineered to function as a giant heat sink. It actually draws internally generated heat away from the electronics and dissipates it through the case. The result is a reliable switch that can take the heat... and the cold. Patent pending thermal techniques extend the ambient temperature operating range of the switch way beyond standard product ratings and improve operating lifetime and reliability. Ambient operating temperatures range from –40°C to +75°C. The extreme temperature Ethernet technology is field proven. The HS8000 case is sealed preventing problem elements from entering the unit. No convection air flowing through the switch contaminating everything, no cooling fan failure to worry about, no insect penetration and smoke is kept out preventing internal damage to the electronics in case of fire. Applications for the HS8000 include power utility plants and substations, roadside traffic control stations, cell towers, unheated or high temperature industrial plant locations, security and surveillance, above the ceiling locations in commercial buildings, data communications huts and pedestals, and military field operations sites. When mounted in the field, the HS8000 is typically fastened to a metal pedestal or post. This provides an even larger heat sink to normalize the operating temperature of the electronics. The HS8000’s external packaging is IEC 529 rated IP51 and, while not waterproof, it can be placed in NEMA 4 boxes, IP65 enclosures and similar waterproof enclosures to provide an all-weather outdoor solution.
