19" industrial Ethernet routing switches for high network traffic applications
The RedFox 5528 series is designed for the core of large high-performance industrial networks and has been developed to cater to the needs of current and future industrial data networks, combining outstanding performance, durability and reliability. These switches are ideal for handling the big data and high bandwidth requirements typically found within transportation, manufacturing, energy, smart cities and other applications. Integrating hardware, software and network design support tools, this next generation switch platform offers advanced capabilities, the lowest total cost of ownership and will create the most reliable and resilient networks on the market. The switch is engineered to maintain uninterrupted data communication, even in exceptionally harsh environments.
The RedFox 5528 series is tested and certified to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks. The switches only use industrial grade components which contributes towards a market leading mean time between failure (MTBF), maximized service life, and reduced operational and life cycle costs.

The RedFox-5528 a high performance layer 2 industrial Ethernet switch designed for high network traffic applications. Various port configurations are available that can be further customised with SFP transceivers. RedFox-5528 is powered by WeOS, the Westermo network operating system.
RedFox-5528 is designed for 19” cabinet according to the ETSI standard, which makes it suitable for use in control room networks as well as for cabinets installed along railway trackside installations. RedFox-5528 is designed to run efficiently from a DC power supply (not considered DC mains). The unit is also equipped with configurable I/O fault contact that makes it ideal for easy installations and monitoring in industrial applications.
Only industrial grade components are used, which gives RedFox-5528 an MTBF of 667,000 hours (Telcordia) that ensures a long service life. A wide operating temperature range of -40 to +74°C (-40 to +165°F) can be achieved with no moving parts or cooling holes in the case. RedFox-5528 has been tested both by Westermo and external test labs to meet many standards regarding EMC, isolation, vibration and shock, all to the highest levels suitable for heavy industrial environments and rail trackside application.
WeOS has been developed to allow offer cross platform and future-proof solutions. WeOS can deliver 20 ms ring recovery performance even for networks with video or EtherNet/IP traffic. For more WeOS functionality, please see the WeOS datasheet
