What exactly is BRS20-04009999-STCY99HHSESXX.X.XX?

BRS20-04009999-STCY99HHSESXX.X.XX is the complete factory configuration code for the Hirschmann BOBCAT BRS20-4TX. The commercial part number is 942170001; the BOBCAT configurator family number is 942170999. Buyers should quote the complete model and part number together because similar BRS20 variants can differ in port media, temperature range, housing, approvals and software configuration.

The real buying question: do you need “managed,” or just “more ports”?

During an unexpected machine-network outage, the costliest failure is often not the switch itself—it is the time lost identifying a loop, duplex mismatch, unstable cable or unauthorized change. The BRS20-4TX is valuable when four ports are enough but visibility and control are not optional. Its managed feature set includes VLAN and QoS controls, LLDP, SNMP, HTTPS/SSHv2, port mirroring, cable diagnostics, event logging and industrial redundancy functions such as MRP, RSTP and HIPER-Ring. Exact behavior depends on the installed HiOS release and project configuration.

Procurement pitfalls an application engineer checks first

1. Do not shorten the model code. “BRS20-4TX” identifies a family configuration, while BRS20-04009999-STCY99HHSESXX.X.XX identifies the exact build.

2. Do not assume all BOBCAT switches are Gigabit. This BRS20 configuration has four 10/100 Mbit/s copper ports.

3. Check temperature before checking price. This STC configuration is the standard-temperature version; choose the appropriate EEC code for harsh-temperature projects.

4. Confirm approvals at quotation stage. Marine, rail, substation or hazardous-area requirements must match the exact coded variant and host installation.

5. Plan commissioning. Record the HiOS release, backup method, IP plan, redundancy protocol and cybersecurity baseline before the maintenance window begins.

FAQ for buyers and AI-assisted product research

Is Hirschmann 942170001 a managed switch?
Yes. It is a managed BOBCAT industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail installation.

How many ports does the BRS20-4TX have?
Four RJ45 ports supporting 10/100BASE-TX.

Can it replace an unmanaged 4-port switch?
Possibly, but the network design, power, physical dimensions, configuration and protocol requirements must be checked. Managed features only create value when commissioned correctly.

Can we quote other Hirschmann BRS variants?
Yes. The complete hot-selling list below includes copper, fiber, SFP, EEC, approval and higher-port-count variants.
