Hirschmann SPIDER III Ethernet switches

Hirschmann SPIDER III switches utilise Hirschmann’s latest technology and, depending on the specific needs of industrial networks, customers can select from the Standard or Premium lines. Both lines are designed to deliver reliable communication in harsh environments.

The SPIDER III range of switches enables network administrators to reliably transmit data across long distances, while remaining cost-effective. The plug-and-play capabilities also make them easy to install and maintain. Specific benefits of the two lines include:

The SPIDER III Standard Line is designed for machine builders in the automation market and provide an entry-level, cost-effective option. These compact devices offer up to eight Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports to accommodate future data and speed requirements.

The SPIDER III Premium Line is for networks with unique or evolving needs, offering robust, completely customisable features. Users can configure some switching parameters via a USB port by utilising an easy-to-use, free software tool. To enable their use in more markets, the premium switches are housed in a highly ruggedised metal casing with an optional protective coating and meet additional industry standards and certifications.

The SPIDER III switches are suitable for use in manufacturing, machine building, solar power and traffic control industries. The Premium Line also offers specific features to meet the approvals needed for use in the process automation, transportation and marine industries.
