Sixnet Series 6 Port Ethernet Switches from Red Lion

Red Lion Sixnet 9-port Ethernet Switches deliver industrial networking performance with a focus on high port count and flexible media support for automation, control, and distributed system applications. It includes unmanaged industrial switches that combine eight 10/100Base-T(X) RJ-45 ports with a dedicated fiber uplink port, available in multimode and singlemode SC/ST styles. With a range of link distances up to 60 km, they enable long-reach connectivity between remote sensors and field equipment without external media converters. Products such as Red Lion SL‑9ES‑2SC provide plug-and-play installation with IEEE 802.3 compliance, MDIX auto-sensing, automatic speed/flow control, and LED link/activity indicators to simplify deployment in unmanaged networks. These switches include redundant 10-30 VDC power inputs with surge protection and DIN-rail housings rated for wide industrial temperature ranges to maximize uptime in harsh environments. For higher resilience and extended environmental specifications, SLX variants like Red Lion Sixnet SLX‑9ES‑3ST offer enhanced MTBF and extended temperature ranges, making them suitable for real-time Ethernet connectivity where deterministic traffic and long-distance fiber links are essential.
