BRS40-20TX/4SFP – All-Gigabit TSN Managed DIN Rail Switch by Hirschmann

The Hirschmann BOBCAT BRS40-20TX/4SFP is a fanless all-Gigabit managed industrial DIN Rail switch with 20 x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports and four SFP slots for 100/1000 Mbit/s fiber uplinks, delivering 24 ports in total. Supporting TSN 802.1Qbv, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and HIPER-Ring redundancy, it suits factory automation, energy, and process control networks requiring both high copper density and flexible fiber connectivity. Available from Recab, your Nordic partner for Hirschmann industrial switch solutions.
Description
The Hirschmann BOBCAT BRS40-20TX/4SFP is a high-port-density all-Gigabit managed industrial switch offering 24 ports in total across 20 x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 copper connections and four SFP slots supporting 100 or 1000 Mbit/s fiber modules. Part number 942170067, this DIN Rail-mounted switch is part of Hirschmann’s BOBCAT TSN series and supports IEEE 802.1Qbv Time-Sensitive Networking for deterministic, real-time Ethernet communication across industrial control and automation backbones. The SFP uplink slots are compatible with single-mode, long-haul, and multimode fiber transceivers, providing the flexibility to span large manufacturing plants, campus networks, or geographically dispersed sites. Redundancy features include HIPER-Ring, MRP (IEC62439-2) as both client and manager, RSTP with guards, and Link Aggregation with LACP to ensure continuous network operation. Industrial protocol support covers PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS Server, and Modbus TCP. The security suite includes 802.1X port-based access control, RADIUS client and VLAN assignment, secure boot, signed firmware, VLAN-based ACL, and comprehensive DoS prevention. The fanless PC-ABS housing operates from 0 to +60°C and consumes 19 W from dual redundant 12–24 VDC power inputs. USB-C, HTML5 web management, CLI, and SNMP v1/v2/v3 provide full management flexibility. The BRS40-20TX/4SFP is well suited to larger automation cells, multi-zone factory networks, energy distribution, and process industries where maximum port count and fiber uplink flexibility are equally important.
