Black Box LIG401A Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Overview
The Black Box LIG401A is a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered for demanding operational environments. It provides reliable 1000-MBPS connectivity in conditions where standard network equipment would fail, such as unconditioned enclosures, outdoor cabinets, or industrial settings. This switch is designed to maintain network uptime for critical surveillance devices like IP cameras or access control panels operating under extreme temperatures.
Compatibility
This switch is compatible with any standard IP-based surveillance device requiring a 10/100/1000-MBPS Ethernet connection. It integrates seamlessly with network video recorders (NVRs), IP cameras, and other network infrastructure components from various manufacturers that adhere to Ethernet standards. Its plug-and-play design simplifies integration into existing or new surveillance deployments.
Installation Notes
The LIG401A is built for resilience. Its ruggedized design and extreme temperature rating (-40°C to 60°C) allow for installation in locations previously unsuitable for network hardware. Ensure adequate ventilation is provided within the enclosure to support the operating temperature range. Power is supplied via an external adapter (sold separately), allowing flexibility in power source selection for remote deployments.
