GECKO Industrial DIN Rail Fast Ethernet Switches

With a combination of managed and unmanaged switches, Hirschmann's GECKO switches are ideally suited for use in smaller networks or on the edge of larger installations. With the proper level of management functionality included, users can configure and monitor the switches without needing any special IT know-how.

For users who have been reluctant to use managed switches because of their complex operation, the GECKO switches are the ideal alternative. The GECKO switches fit into tight spaces thanks to a compact housing that makes them one of the smallest managed Industrial Ethernet switches on the market. Moreover, the GECKO switches offer a well-designed and intuitive graphical user interface, even on mobile devices.

In designing the GECKO switches, the fundamental management functions were integrated to enable the configuration and monitoring of the switches. This concept allows the GECKO switches to bring added value to areas where unmanaged switches cannot deliver the required performance. They can also be used when fully-managed switches are not needed due to superfluous functionality or complex operation.
