VSW-346 HONEYWELL

Product Overview 

The VSW-346 is a high-performance 8-Port Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch specifically tested and approved for use within the VESDA-E and VESDAnet Ethernet-based architecture. This ruggedized switch is used to interconnect multiple VESDA-E detectors (such as the VEU, VEP, or VEA) or to bridge the detectors to a local area network (LAN) for monitoring via Xtralis VSC or VESDA Connect software. Engineered for the demanding environments where aspirating smoke detection is typically deployed, the VSW-346 ensures low-latency data transmission for critical life safety alerts and configuration data.

Key Features

• Port Configuration: Features 8 10/100Base-T(X) RJ45 ports, allowing for the connection of up to 7 detectors plus a primary network uplink.
• Industrial Grade: Built with a rugged, fanless IP30-rated housing designed to withstand the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and temperature fluctuations common in equipment rooms.
• DIN Rail Mounting: Includes a standard integrated DIN rail clip for secure mounting inside VESDA-E power supply cabinets or auxiliary enclosures.
• Redundant Power Inputs: Features dual 12/24/48 VDC power inputs with terminal block connections to ensure continuous operation if one power source fails.
• Plug-and-Play: As an unmanaged switch, it requires no software configuration, ensuring immediate "VESDA-out-of-the-box" connectivity for installers.
• Broadcast Storm Protection: Includes integrated circuitry to prevent network loops from crashing the fire detection communication string.
• Operating Temperature: Rated for extreme reliability from -10°C to 60°C, far exceeding standard commercial office switches.
