The IE560-12GSX Industrial Ethernet distribution switch provides secure data transfer to support critical infrastructure in harsh environments such as power utility, industrial automation, oil and gas, transportation, and more. The ability to stack four units provides a resilient distribution solution, while MACsec encryption and Active Fiber Monitoring ensure secure and efficient infrastructure operation.

Overview
- Bridge the gap between the access layer and the core network, handling traffic aggregation and policy enforcement
- Centralized management, visibility, and automation of the entire network using Vista Managerâ„¢ and Autonomous Management Frameworkâ„¢ Plus
- Enable resilient network without single points of failure combining virtual stacking (VCStack) with either link aggregation (LAG) or ring protection switching technologies (ERPS and EPSR)
- Enjoy flexible deployment options with 8 x 100/1000X SFP ports, and 4 x 1/10G SFP+ ports
- Ensure smooth transportation, marine, and mining operation with live signalling, preventative risk management, and increased safety
- Hardened industrial-grade switch that operates flawlessly in harsh environments, withstanding electromagnetic noise, wide temperature, humidity, vibration, and more
- Optimize utility, power, and critical infrastructure operation with seamless access to control systems, process data, and monitoring
- Secure essential services infrastructure and data against sniffing or exploitation with MACsec encryption on all ports
Key Features
- 1GbE fiber LAN ports with 100M/1/10GbE fiber uplinks
- Active Fiber Monitoringâ„¢ (AFM) detects and prevents tampering of fiber uplinks
- Alarm monitoring and triggers for proactive administration
- AlliedWare Plusâ„¢ feature-rich operating system
- Electromagnetic compatibility for use in power substations
- Extended operating temperature of -40°C to 75°C for harsh environments
- Fanless design for increased reliability and dust resistance
- MACsec encryption @256bits on any port
- MODBUS/TCP for industrial automation and supervision
- MRP, EPSRingâ„¢, and G.8032 ERPS for resilient distribution rings
- NETCONF/RESTCONF and OpenFlow v1.3 for network automation and orchestration
- Precise time synchronization (IEEE 1588 PTP – Transparent Clock)
- Redundant power inputs maximize uptime and resiliency
- Static and dynamic routing (ECMP, OSPF, RIP, Static and BGP)
- Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStackâ„¢) up to 4 units
