Etherwan Systems EG97023-2VCR L3 Hardened 10G Switch 20port

Product Description

The ETHERWAN SYSTEMS, INC. EG97023-2VCR is a Layer 3 hardened managed switch designed for demanding network infrastructure applications. It provides 20 ports of 10 Gigabit connectivity in a ruggedized form factor built to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments. Layer 3 switching capability enables IP routing functions directly at the switch level, reducing reliance on upstream routers and supporting more complex network topologies. This unit is intended for installation by qualified network engineers and industrial automation technicians working in environments where standard commercial-grade equipment is not suitable.

The EG97023-2VCR is suited for industrial and critical infrastructure deployments where environmental conditions such as wide temperature ranges, vibration, and electrical noise exceed the tolerances of commercial switches. Typical installation scenarios include transportation systems, utility substations, manufacturing floors, and outdoor communications enclosures. Its hardened design makes it appropriate for both new network builds and the upgrade of existing industrial Ethernet segments requiring higher throughput and routing capability.

Key Features

• Layer 3 managed switching with IP routing support at the switch level
• 20-port 10 Gigabit architecture for high-throughput industrial network segments
• Hardened construction rated for harsh industrial environments
• Managed switch feature set supports VLANs, QoS, and network segmentation
• Ruggedized form factor suitable for critical infrastructure and automation applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial Ethernet switch for use in Layer 3 network infrastructure deployments requiring hardened, high-speed managed switching.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network engineer or industrial automation technician familiar with Layer 3 switch configuration and industrial Ethernet standards. Power down or de-energize associated network segments before making physical connections. Follow applicable local electrical codes and network infrastructure standards during mounting and wiring. Confirm firmware and configuration requirements with the system integrator before commissioning.
