Description
The Patton CL2380R Series is an Ethernet Extender, Switch and Router that delivers high speed connectivity for Ethernet-over-Copper, Fiber or both. Offering 8 Ethernet Ports including 6 LAN and 2 SFP WAN ports together with Northbound and Southbound facing Long-Range Extension ports, the CL2380R is ideal for integrating local copper-based industrial ethernet to regional fiber backbones.
The unit offers six (6) RJ-45 local Ethernet LAN Ports, two (2) gigabit Ethernet WAN SFPs ports, two (local/remote, north/south) long-range copper extension ports, plus digital input, and digital output ports for controlling industrial devices, sensors, alarms, or controls.
As a combination Ethernet Extender, Ethernet Switch and Ethernet Router, the units offer Layer 3 capabilities supporting IP protocols required for routing, management and security required for critical industrial infrastructure.
A special relay switch between the two Copper Extension ports (local/remote, north/south) enables the unit to be bypassed (directly connects the copper lines) if the unit is shut down.
A Digital Output interface is used as an Alarm Relay indicating the power status of the unit. When the unit is powered OFF, this relay is closed (Alarm mode) and when the unit power is ON, this relay is open. Digital Inputs support dry-contact mode, where the absence of voltage corresponds to zero (o) and a voltage of 5V to 15V DC corresponds to 1. The Digital Input can be used for a variety of purposes subject to future or customized firmware releases.
Security is enhanced with a laundry list of cyber features including firewall filtering, IPSec tunneling (with IKEv2 and Hub-and-Spoke functions), Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP), X.509 authentication and PKI enrolment. It embeds a Secure-Element for enhanced authentication certificate control, strong encryption of stored information and Secure-Boot to ensure total security of both data and software.
Applications
The CL2380R is a combination Ethernet Switch with SFP based Fiber backhaul and Long Range Ethernet Extender. Utilized for Industrial Networking applications, the product allows regional fiber rings to inter-connect with local copper based rings or multi-drop links.
Supporting fiber backhaul up to 60 miles using single mode fiber and copper spans up to 4 miles, the solution is ideal for Smart Cities, IIoT, Transportation, Security, Energy and Utilities.
