HMS Networks: New N-Tron NT100 Industrial Ethernet Switches for Rugged Ops
November 4, 2025
HMS Networks is pleased to announce the launch of new additions to the N-Tron NT100 series: NT110-FX2, NT111-FX3 and NT112- FX4 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches, designed for industrial applications needing dependable performance for mission-critical applications under harsh conditions.
The new NT100 unmanaged series offers exceptional reliability and performance for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O and process control.
Rugged
Compact in size with eight high performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) and two (NT110), three (NT111) or four (NT112) 100BaseFX fiber ports, the switches are housed in rugged industrial metal enclosures. The new switches offer high shock and vibration tolerance. The RJ45 ports have built in ESD and surge protection. Fiber ports are available with SC or ST connectors in multimode or singlemode configurations. Users benefit from an exceptional 1.2M hour MTBF rating, in slim, space-saving designs that operate in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.
Reliable
For robust network support, the NT110-FX2, NT111-FX3 and NT112-FX4 unmanaged switches support full wire speed communication. Each model employs store-and-forward technology with support for full and half duplex operation. Two 10-49 VDC power inputs are provided for redundancy.
Proven
Along with the flagship16-port copper unmanaged NT116 switch released in 2024, the NT100 series is the next evolution in N-Tron’s unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch. The new switches carry UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations as well as ATEX and IECEx certification in addition to IEEE 802.3 compliance and marine, railway and rolling stock certifications.
The N-Tron NT100 series from HMS-Networks makes critical performance data easier to gather. Their rugged and hardened designs provide the durability and reliability needed to withstand the extreme conditions found on factory floor control networks and in oil and gas, utilities, water/wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, intelligent traffic control and transportation applications.
“For decades, N-Tron has stood for ruggedness, reliability and ease of use. The NT100 series continues that tradition, delivering durable switches that thrive in extreme environments, maintain rock-solid uptime, and are simple to deploy. Designed with the needs of machine builders and OEMs in mind—while serving the broader demands of industrial applications—the NT100 series is ready to keep critical operations running in any environment.“
