Red Lion Controls 104TX Industrial Ethernet Switch

The Red Lion N‑TRON 104TX is a four‑port unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch built for rugged factory‑floor networks. It provides four 10/100BaseTX RJ‑45 ports that connect PLCs, sensors, HMIs, and remote I/O modules at industrial speeds, without requiring software configuration. The device supports redundant 10–30 VDC power inputs for reliability in power‑critical applications, and it uses a compact metal DIN‑rail enclosure suited for panel mounting in harsh environments. As an IEEE 802.3 compliant, store‑and‑forward switch, it delivers deterministic Ethernet performance for small to mid‑size automation networks. Typical applications include linking PLCs and variable-frequency drives to a centralized control network, distributing Ethernet to multiple field devices at a machine cell, or providing an unmanaged edge switch in SCADA and HMI deployments on the plant floor. The 104TX is part of Red Lion’s N‑TRON 100 Series, reflecting the brand’s focus on rugged industrial networking hardware with straightforward installation.
