Sixnet Series Three Port Industrial Ethernet Switches

Red Lion Sixnet 3-port Ethernet switches provide compact, unmanaged network bridging with combinations of copper and fiber connectivity tailored for industrial automation and remote network segments. Models like the Red Lion Sixnet SLX‑3EG‑1SFP and Red Lion Sixnet SLX‑3ES‑2SC pair two 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports with a dedicated fiber or SFP interface for extended reach and high-immunity network links, enabling reliable Ethernet extension without the complexity of larger switches. These switches support IEEE 802.3 standards with auto-MDIX, auto-speed negotiation, full/half-duplex operation and LED link/activity status indicators for straightforward diagnostics on installation. Housed in hardened metal DIN-rail enclosures with surge-protected power inputs and redundant 10-30 VDC power capability, Sixnet 3-port units deliver consistent performance. They are ideal in severe environments such as factory floors and process control zones. The inclusion of singlemode or multimode fiber port options enhances network segmentation, long-distance connectivity and immunity to electrical noise, making these switches practical for bridging isolated segments or linking critical devices where space and port count are at a premium.
