Rugged data switches introduced by Crystal

Crystal Group in Hiawatha, Iowa, is introducing rugged data switches for military applications. The RCS6450-12/24 rugged data switches are based on the Brocade intelligent, scalable edge switch line, and offer improved cooling, shock, vibration, and humidity performance. They are cooled with forced-air convection via internal high-reliability long-life fans. The RCS6450 comes in 12- and 24-port units and is available with a standard 120/240-volt AC commercial off-the-shelf power supply, front or rear I/O options, one 120/240-volt AC EMI-compliant power supply, an 18-to-36-volt DC EMI-compliant power supply, or a combination of AC/DC supply modules in a 1+1 configuration.
