BRS40-16TX – 16-Port All-Gigabit TSN Switch by Hirschmann

The Hirschmann BRS40-16TX is a compact, fanless, DIN Rail-mounted managed industrial Ethernet switch from the BOBCAT series, delivering 16x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 all-Gigabit ports for high-throughput industrial automation networks. With TSN 802.1Qbv real-time networking, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and HIPER-Ring redundancy, it provides full Gigabit bandwidth to every connected device in machine vision, robotics, and data-intensive manufacturing environments. Available from Recab, your Nordic partner for Hirschmann managed industrial switch solutions.
Description
The Hirschmann BRS40-16TX is a 16-port all-Gigabit managed industrial Ethernet switch from the Hirschmann BOBCAT series, engineered for factory automation, machine building, and high-throughput industrial networking environments where every connected device — not just backbone uplinks — requires full Gigabit bandwidth. Its 16x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports each operate at up to 1 Gbit/s, making the BRS40-16TX the appropriate choice for applications involving machine vision systems, high-speed robotic controllers, real-time data aggregation, and IIoT edge computing nodes that generate data volumes exceeding Fast Ethernet limits. The switch operates from 0 to +60°C in a compact fanless DIN Rail PC-ABS housing with IP30 protection and an MTBF of nearly 1.97 million hours. TSN 802.1Qbv on interfaces 1/1 to 1/3 delivers deterministic, time-sensitive Ethernet for real-time industrial control systems. PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 provide full industrial automation protocol compatibility. Redundancy features include HIPER-Ring, MRP (IEC 62439-2) as both manager and client, RSTP, Link Aggregation with LACP, and Redundant Network Coupling. Security capabilities cover 802.1X port-based access control, RADIUS, VLAN-based ACLs, Secure Boot, and signed firmware. USB-C local management and AutoConfiguration Adapter support enable rapid commissioning and zero-disruption device replacement. Available from Recab, your Nordic partner for Hirschmann managed industrial switch solutions.
