BRS32-12TX – 12-Port PoE+ Managed TSN Switch by Hirschmann

The Hirschmann BRS32-12TX is a Power over Ethernet managed industrial switch from the Hirschmann BOBCAT series, purpose-built for engineers who need to simultaneously power and manage IEEE 802.3at PoE+ compliant field devices — such as IP cameras, industrial wireless access points, VoIP terminals, and remote I/O units — through a single compact DIN Rail unit in an industrial control cabinet. It delivers 12 ports in total: 8x 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 PoE+ access ports with up to 240 W total power budget, 4x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 Gigabit ports, and dual Gigabit TX uplinks, operating from a 48/54 VDC PoE supply voltage. The switch consumes up to 250 W total when fully loaded with 240 W of PoE output, and operates from 0 to +60°C in a compact fanless DIN Rail PC-ABS housing with an MTBF of over 2.57 million hours. TSN 802.1Qbv on interfaces 1/1 to 1/3 provides deterministic real-time Ethernet for time-sensitive control applications, while PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 support covers the broadest range of industrial automation and control systems. PoE Fast Startup and manual PoE power management give network administrators precise control over device powering sequences. Redundancy is provided by HIPER-Ring, MRP (IEC 62439-2) as both manager and client, RSTP, and Link Aggregation with LACP. Security includes 802.1X, RADIUS, VLAN-based ACLs, Secure Boot, and signed firmware. USB-C provides local management and device replacement support.
