3. Product Description
3.1. Product Description
The Lynx 5612 is a high-performance substation automation-approved Ethernet switch
ideal for energy and substation automation applications.
It is the most compact high-performance switch for energy systems on the market. It has
been developed with the needs of current and future networks in mind. Combining
outstanding performance, durability and reliability, it is ideal switch for handling big data and
high bandwidth requirements.
Critical energy infrastructure cannot tolerate interruptions of service which is why the
switch is engineered to maintain uninterrupted data communication even in exceptionally
harsh environments. Lynx-5612 has been tested and verified to withstand extreme
temperatures, vibrations and EMI aligned with IEC 61850-3 Ed.2
Furthermore only industrial grade components are used which contributes towards a
market leading mean time between failure (MTBF), maximized service life and reduced
operational and life cycle costs.
By providing full gigabit speed on all 12 ports, four flexible SFP ports and layer 2 and layer 3
functionality, a broad range of applications are possible. Powered by the next generation
WeOS operating system, which ensures robust operation and support for an expanding
range of protocols and features. In addition, recognizing the growing sophistication of
cyberattacks, an extensive suite of cyber security tools is available.
The switch is also prepared for routing acceleration, extended cybersecurity and time
synchronization IEEE 1588v2 applications, making it the ideal solution to meet future
security and bandwidth requirements.
