  • Ingress Protection: IP20
  • Failover Time: Millisecond-level automatic switchover.

Material Composition
Industrial-grade housing with dual high-reliability fiber optic transceivers and redundant network interface circuits.

Structural Characteristics
Standard form factor with dual fiber optic ports for primary and secondary network connections. Front panel displays link status for both paths.

Working Principle
Simultaneously monitors both network paths, automatically routing data through the active path while keeping the standby path synchronized for instant failover.

Installation Requirements
Install on a compatible baseplate. Connect both primary and secondary fiber optic links to separate network switches.

Usage Precautions
Ensure both network paths are properly configured and tested. Never disconnect both links simultaneously during operation.
