May 21, 2014 – Belden has extended its range of industrial ethernet products with the new Gecko 4TX switch from Hirschmann, which claims to combine the advantages of fully-managed switches with the benefits of fast and simple deployment.

Boasting easy-to-implement management functionality, the Gecko 4TX allows users to focus on the essentials, making it convenient to configure and monitor without needing special IT know-how. Other features include diagnostic and documentation options, 24V DC power supply, IP30 protection rating, and 3W power consumption.
