GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND: Patton�global provider of cutting-edge Ethernet solutions since 1984�is proud to unveil the latest addition to its lineup of industrial multiport Ethernet switches: Introducing the FiberPlex FP2024E with four Ethernet interface flavors in one device.

Flexible Connectivity: Providing copper, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), and fiber Ethernet interfaces�in a ruggedized, fully-manageable, layer-3, Industrial Ethernet switch�the FP2024E provides unsurpassed flexibility for industrial network connectivity.

Rugged: The FP2024E 28-port Industrial Grade Gigabit PoE+ Managed Ethernet Switch comes in a rugged IP30-rated enclosure, ideal for Industrial Ethernet and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT).

Versatile: The switch is designed to meet the demanding requirements of such harsh environments as industrial automation, IIoT, automotive, railway, and maritime transportation, oil/gas, utilities, security, and medical networks.

�As industries continue to implement network transformations and expand automation, the demand for robust network infrastructure is growing,� said Burton A. Patton, Chief Revenue Officer at Patton, �especially for mission-critical applications.�

�In response to this burgeoning demand, Patton has developed the FP2024E with cutting-edge features tailored for industrial applications,� Burt said.

Durable: Built to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, and vibrations, the FP2024E is designed for reliable uninterrupted operation in harsh environments.

Layer 2 Switching: Equipped with advanced Layer-2 switching, the FP2024E enables efficient data transport and network management, ensuring optimum performance with minimal latency.

High-Speed Connectivity: Supporting Gigabit Ethernet, the device delivers high-speed connectivity for such bandwidth-intensive applications as video surveillance, industrial automation, and IIoT.

Redundancy: The FP2024E supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and EtherChannel redundancy protocols, enabling seamless failover and network recovery in the event of link failure.

Easy Deployment: For easy commissioning and operation, the FP2024E offers a user-friendly web interface (with SNMP) that simplifies network configuration, monitoring, and management.

Comprehensive Security: Built-in access control lists (ACLs), port security, and VLAN segregation safeguard against unauthorized access while providing data integrity and confidentiality. When combined with Patton�s SFX SFP Data Diode, the switch can be used in Cross-Domain security scenarios by enabling uni-directional communication between domains.

The FP2024E Industrial Ethernet Switch is now available for pre-order.�

In related news, Patton recently announced Tone Commander DOD-Certified, Push-to-Talk, Secure SIP Phones.
