Introduction
The AWK-4121 outdoor wireless AP/bridge/client is the ideal outdoor Features for Critical Environments
wireless solution for industrial applications that are hard to wire, • IP68-rated metal housing and -40 to 75°C wide operating
too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that connect to a temperature
TCP/IP network. The AWK-4121’s dust-tight/weatherproof design is • Anti-vibration M12 design and waterproof/dust-tight RJ45
IP68-rated, allowing you to extend existing wired networks to outdoor connectors
locations and critical environments. The two redundant DC power • PoE (discontinued starting with Rev. 2.0.0) and dual DC power
inputs increase the reliability of the power supply and can be powered inputs
via PoE (discontinued starting with Rev. 2.0.0) for easier deployment. Specifications for Industrial-grade Applications
The AWK-4121 complies with a portion of EN 50155 specifications, • Long-distance wireless transmission over 10 km
covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, • Integrated DI/DO for on-site monitoring and warnings
and vibration, making the switches suitable for a variety of industrial • Status LED indicators for on-site monitoring and diagnosis
applications.
