Microsemi has launched its new Ocelot product family, a family of low-power, feature-rich Ethernet switches optimized for communication networks in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market.
Microsemi's new equipment is specifically designed for the specific needs of industrial Ethernet switch applications, such as factory automation, process control, smart grid / smart energy and physical security. It uses flexible interfaces, TCAM-based classification, 1588 timing And ring protection in small packages.
Larry O'Connell, director of product marketing for Microsemi, said: "As the industry wants to modernize its networks to this ubiquitous standard, Ethernet is becoming more widely used in industrial communications." With power optimized and flexible Ethernet network product portfolios, we are expanding our product range to support a wide range of industrial Ethernet applications. We have added new Ocelot equipment, which has expanded our product portfolio and provided a cost-effective solution for IIoT customers. Unlike competing products, it has no compromise in functionality. "
This series includes the following devices: VSC7511, four ports with four fully integrated copper PHYs, Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch VSC7512, 10 ports with four fully integrated copper PHYs, layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Network switch, VSC7513, eight port 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch VCS7514, 10 port 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switch
The company said that in addition to using Microsemi's technology to provide low power consumption, small packaging, 1588 timing and ringing protection, Ocelot switches also have optimized port configurations, unmanaged and managed options, and IStax software optimized for the industrial market.
