Benefits:
The i800 series, with its four models, provides customers with considerable flexibility by offering a variety of interfaces and speed options for both copper and fiber optic connections. The unmanaged model presents a cost-effective solution for simple plug-and-play operations. Conversely, the managed model offers advanced Layer 2 networking functions and includes cybersecurity features. To accommodate challenging environmental conditions, the optional temperature range has been extended from -40 °C to +85 °C. Furthermore, the addition of dual 24 VDC power inputs bolsters reliability in case of primary power supply failures.
