The Moxa ICS-G7852 collected honours with a Taiwan Excellence award from the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs identifying it as one of the most innovative and highest value products made in Taiwan. The device stood out in the Internet Applications category for its elegant modular design, dependable performance and rich feature set.
The ICS-G7852 is a core switch with four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a maximum of 48 total Gigabit Ethernet ports. It has the connectivity and modular media flexibility to excel in high-performance and non-stop control centre networking environments. With four ports of 10GbE network connectivity, it forms a reliable, scalable and future-proof network backbone with ports to spare for redundant rings or uplinks. The ICS series’ industrial pedigree gives it added advantages over commercial switches, such as hot-swappable redundant power inputs, dual images, a reliable fanless design that never needs to be cleaned, and a recovery time of under 50 milliseconds using Moxa’s innovative network self-healing technologies, Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain.
The device is part of Moxa’s wide range of industrial Ethernet solutions, including edge-to-core industrial Ethernet switches, industrial wireless Ethernet solutions, and industrial Ethernet gateways, which are designed to enable a converged automation network with ideal network response time, and impressive network resilience, security, and reliability.
