The Raptor EP4200 and EP5200 series switches provide advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities with high performance and availability tailored for demanding critical infrastructure and energy applications. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards, these managed switches ensure reliable operation even under extreme environmental conditions ranging from -40 to 75°C, and up to 85°C.
The EP5200 model supports up to 28 Ethernet ports in a 48 cm rack mount form factor, while the EP4200 offers up to 16 Ethernet ports in a compact DIN rail mount design. Both models feature gigabit Ethernet communication across copper and fibre ports, with optional 10 gigabit ports available for high-throughput applications.
With a robust Layer 2 feature set, the Raptor switch portfolio is engineered for environments where reliability, scalability and compliance are non-negotiable. Whether deployed in substations, industrial control systems or energy distribution networks, these switches deliver the performance and resilience needed to support mission-critical operations.
