Installation of electronic devices in environments where flammable liquids, gasses and vapors may be present is a real challenge. It is critical to use the right equipment in these environments. With UL Class I, Division 2 certification, the EKI-2000 and 7000 series of products are now approved for use in hazardous environments, which are common to oil & gas, mining, and chemical processing industries.
EKI的工业以太网开关家族可提供5端口至18端口配置，具有标准铜和光纤连接，10/100Mbps和Gigabit（1000Mbps）速度，以及无管理和托管的型号。托管型号提供手动端口设置，高级网络流量控制，一个超快速的10ms自我修复环，可用于高可用性以及远程监视功能。EKI介质转换器允许将连接扩展到光纤电缆上，高达近70英里（110公里），并具有100Mbps和Gigabit（100Mbps）的速度，具有各种类型的纤维连接器。
Packaged in a compact and thin DIN-rail mount metal chassis, the EKI family of Industrial Ethernet products is ideal where panel space is limited. They are also ruggedized for demanding industrial applications, with redundant 12 to 48 VDC power inputs, 4,000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection, power line surge (EFT) protection of 3,000 VDC, and feature standard -10 to 60°C or extended -40 to 75°C operating temperature range to ensure system uptime.
Currently, the following models are Class 1, Division 2 certified—Unmanaged Ethernet Switches: EKI-2528, EKI-2528I, EKI-2525, EKI-2525I, EKI-2525M, EKI-2526M, EKI-2526S, EKI-2528, EKI-2528I, EKI-2728; Managed Ethernet Switches: EKI-7559MI, EKI-7559SI, EKI-7656C, EKI-7657C, EKI-7758F; Ethernet Media Converters: EKI-2541M, EKI-2541MI, EKI-2541S, EKI-2541SI, EKI-2741F, EKI-2741SX, EKI-2741LX.
Advantech continues to expand the capabilities and breadth of their line of industrial Ethernet products. With these new certifications, the compact and rugged EKI-2000 and EKI-7000 series can now be used in a much broader range of applications, including use in hazardous locations.
