The Applications

1. Fire & Gas Detection in Harsh Marine and Offshore Sites

In large-scale fire and gas detection networks, stability and redundancy are essential. The FL SWITCH 2206-2FX SM is particularly well-suited for connecting multiple detection panels using both copper and fiber. Its managed redundancy protocols maintain continuous communication even if one network path fails. Fiber ports provide reliable data transfer across long distances, critical for offshore oil rigs and ships where environmental challenges demand resilient infrastructure. By ensuring rapid fault recovery and uninterrupted monitoring, the switch enhances safety in environments where early detection and fast response can save lives and protect assets.

2. Oil & Gas Refinery Process Control

Refineries depend on continuous real-time data for controlling flow, pressure, and temperature. The FL SWITCH 2206-2FX SM supports VLANs, MRP, and RSTP, making it ideal for structuring secure and redundant process control networks. Even in the event of a hardware or cable failure, communication is quickly rerouted to keep systems online. With its wide temperature tolerance and compliance to industrial safety standards, it offers peace of mind in high-risk zones. By reducing downtime and improving system integrity, it strengthens the reliability of distributed control systems used in oil and gas production.

3. Long-Distance Security and Surveillance Networks

Industrial plants, outdoor facilities, and infrastructure projects often require video monitoring and data collection spread over large areas. The FL SWITCH 2206-2FX SM uses its single-mode fiber connections to extend network reach up to tens of kilometers without loss of quality. This capability ensures uninterrupted transmission of high-resolution surveillance feeds and remote monitoring signals. Its robust immunity against electromagnetic interference makes it perfect for noisy industrial environments. By combining long-range communication with secure managed features, the switch provides dependable backbone support for mission-critical surveillance systems.

4. Railway and Transportation Automation

Modern railway and transport systems rely on segmented and reliable Ethernet networks to connect signaling systems, control centers, and trackside sensors. The FL SWITCH 2206-2FX SM offers redundancy functions, VLAN separation, and high resilience against shock and vibration, making it suitable for transport automation. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures ensures uninterrupted operation across outdoor installations. By maintaining clear, prioritized communication between different parts of the transport system, it improves both safety and efficiency, reducing the risks of downtime in an industry where reliability is paramount.
