Hirschmann EAGLE20-0400/EAGLE30-0402 ethernet firewalls

Through Belden, Hirschmann has introduced the EAGLE20-0400 and EAGLE30-0402 firewalls that achieve greater link speeds. They are said to be the first firewalls available in a convection-cooled DIN rail housing that supports six LAN ports (two of which are gigabit) with such a range of WAN connectivity.

The extended number of ports enables users to deploy a single device instead of having to use multiple EAGLE20s.

Belden has focused on the needs of industrial networks and the devices bring a number of  benefits over current options by offering multiple ports, gigabit ports and WAN connections. They also have a greater temperature range, more flexible deployment possibilities and offer wider voltage ranges.

The Hirschmann EAGLE20-0400 firewall supports four 100 Mbps ports, while the 30-0402 supports four 100 Mbps ports and two 1 Gbps SFP ports. Initially, The hardware release will initially support ethernet ports only. A later release will also support WAN connections, including ADSL, SHDSL, VDSL, E1/T1 and UMTS.
