Hirschmann BOBCAT Next Generation Managed Switches

Every year, the number of devices requiring greater bandwidth to remain reliable and well-connected increases. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Managed Switch is built to help manufacturers keep pace with this change and build next generation networks.

The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches, including high-port count variants, are designed to meet rising bandwidth needs, enabling more connected devices on the network through a compact, yet powerful solution. With real-time communication using TSN, the switches maximize performance and security, even under demanding conditions.

These managed switches also allow for expanded bandwidth capabilities with the the option to adjust the SFPs from 100Mb, 1Gb and 2.5Gb (speeds dependent on BOBCAT series) requiring no change to the appliance.

Enhanced network security is another critical component of any future-facing network. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches support HiOS software and feature several compelling security elements, including IEEE 802.1x port-based access control, varying privilege levels, configurable password policies, security status monitor and audit trails.
