Enterasys B3G124-24 | Industrial Layer 3 Managed Switch
Enterasys B3G124-24 Industrial Layer 3 Switch: Engineered for mission-critical networks demanding advanced routing, security, and scalability, this ruggedized switch delivers enterprise-grade performance in harsh industrial environments. Designed to meet the rigorous requirements of smart factories, transportation systems, and energy facilities, the B3G124-24 combines Layer 3 routing capabilities with industrial resilience, ensuring reliable data transmission even in extreme conditions.
The B3G124-24 stands out for its compact design and versatile connectivity options, featuring 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP+ slots for fiber-optic expansion. This hybrid configuration enables seamless integration of copper and fiber connections, extending network reach while maintaining high-speed performance. Its fanless, conduction-cooled design eliminates moving parts, enhancing reliability in dusty or vibration-prone environments, while its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +75°C) and redundant power inputs ensure continuous operation in critical applications.
In industrial automation systems, the B3G124-24 serves as a backbone for converged OT/IT networks, supporting real-time communication between PLCs, HMIs, robots, and IoT devices. Its advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities enable dynamic traffic management, VLAN segmentation, and inter-subnet communication, while support for industrial protocols like PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP ensures seamless integration with legacy and modern control systems. The switch’s built-in security features—including ACLs, port security, and DHCP snooping—protect against unauthorized access and cyber threats, while its support for ring redundancy protocols (e.g., RSTP, MSTP) minimizes downtime in the event of network failures.
