The ENTERASYS A2H254-16 P0973BK is a high-density industrial Ethernet switch designed for mission-critical network infrastructure in harsh environments. Part of Enterasys Networks’ (now Extreme Networks) ruggedized C-Series, this 48-port managed switch delivers Layer 2+ switching with advanced security and Quality of Service (QoS) features. The ENTERASYS A2H254-16 P0973BK supports 10/100/1000BASE-T copper connectivity with 16 ports featuring PoE+ (802.3at) capability, delivering up to 30W per port for powering IP cameras, wireless APs, and IoT devices. Its hardened design operates in -40°C to +75°C temperatures with shock/vibration resistance (IEC 60068-2), making it ideal for factory floors, transportation, and energy applications.
With dual redundant power inputs (24–58 VDC) and fanless operation, the switch ensures 99.999% uptime. The ENTERASYS A2H254-16 P0973BK features ExtremeXOS® operating system for granular control, including ACLs, DHCP snooping, and dynamic VLAN assignment. Its 176 Gbps switching capacity and 131 Mpps forwarding rate support deterministic real-time communication for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP protocols.
