Hirschmann BRS20-4TX/2FX-EEC 942170013: A Compact Managed Switch for Industrial Ethernet

Finding the correct industrial Ethernet switch is often more complicated than simply matching the number of ports. Industrial projects may require specific fiber types, connector formats, temperature ranges, mounting methods, and power requirements.

For these applications, the Hirschmann BRS20-4TX/2FX-EEC offers a combination of copper and multimode fiber connectivity in a compact industrial switch.

The product is also known as Hirschmann 942170013 and uses the full configuration code BRS20-0600M2M2-TTCY99HHSESXX.X.XX. Manufacturer and distributor references identify 942170013 as the BRS20-4TX/2FX-EEC version with four Fast Ethernet copper ports and two multimode fiber ports.

Key Specifications at a Glance

The Hirschmann BRS20-4TX/2FX-EEC provides:

• 4 × 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports

• 2 × 100BASE-FX multimode fiber ports

• SC fiber connectors

• Managed Ethernet functionality

• DIN-Rail mounting

• Fanless industrial design

• 12–24 VDC power supply

• -40°C to +70°C operating temperature

• HiOS Layer 2 Standard management

Its six-port configuration is well suited to industrial networks where several local Ethernet devices need to be connected while fiber links are required for network expansion.

Why Choose the EEC Version?

The EEC configuration is particularly relevant for installations that require a wider operating temperature range. With an operating range of -40°C to +70°C, the BRS20-4TX/2FX-EEC is designed for demanding industrial environments rather than standard office networking.

The multimode fiber interfaces also provide an option for connecting network segments over longer distances and in environments where fiber can offer advantages over copper cabling.

Ideal for Replacement and New Projects

The Hirschmann BRS20-4TX/2FX-EEC can be considered for both new industrial Ethernet installations and replacement projects involving older Hirschmann or other industrial switches.
