The Hirschmann RSPE32-8TX/4C-EEC-2A is a hardened, fanless managed Fast and Gigabit industrial Ethernet switch from the RSPE32 series, uniquely combining the modular port-expansion architecture of the RSPE platform with integrated PoE+ capability across up to 24 ports at a maximum of 120 Watts total switch budget. The base unit provides eight 10/100 Fast Ethernet TX ports and four Fast/Gigabit Ethernet combo RJ45/SFP ports, expandable via two media module slots to a maximum of 28 ports, with PoE-enabled expansion available through compatible RSPM modules. Operating across an extended temperature range of -40 to +70°C, validated to IEC 60068-2-2 dry heat testing at +85°C for 16 hours, this switch is built for environments where both network connectivity and device power delivery must survive harsh conditions. The redundancy suite includes MRP as manager and client, HIPER-Ring, HIPER-Ring over Link Aggregation, MSTP, Sub Ring Manager, Redundant Network Coupling, and RSTP with guards. The switching feature set covers QinQ, DiffServ classification and policing, IP subnet-based VLANs, and MAC-based VLANs, while management includes OPC-UA Server, ITxPT Module Inventory, IPv6 Management, and DNS Client for IIoT and transportation integration. Security encompasses 802.1X multi-client authentication, LDAP, Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP Snooping, time-based ACLs, and MAC Authentication Bypass. Approved to IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613, EN50121-4, NEMA TS2, cUL61010, CE, FCC, and RCM, this switch is well placed for railway station networks, building automation, transit infrastructure, and industrial sites requiring PoE-powered cameras, access points, or sensors alongside managed Ethernet.
