Description
The Eaton 9468‑ET is part of the MTL (an Eaton brand) 9460‑ET series of Ethernet‑connectivity modules designed for hazardous area / intrinsically safe (IS) environments.
Although some listings call it an “Ethernet Switch”, the published datasheet and manual refer to the 9468‑ET specifically as an Ethernet Isolator (i.e., an isolating
barrier between safe area and hazardous area Ethernet segments) rather than a full managed switch. It allows devices located in safe or noncertified areas to
interconnect with intrinsically safe Ethernet networking equipment in hazardous zones, supporting 10/100 Mbps
over Cat5e twisted‑pair cables and providing galvanic isolation for safety compliance.
Feature And Application of 9468-ET
| Feature | Application |
|
Intrinsically Safe Certification: ATEX / IECEx / FM / FMc approvals for use in Zone 2 (and connectivity into Zone 0/1) hazardous areas. Galvanic Isolation: Safe area RJ45 ports are galvanically isolated from hazardous area ports, enabling equipment separation and safety barrier functionality. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Support: Supports standard copper Ethernet speeds with auto negotiation (10Base‑T & 100Base‑TX). Cat5e Cable Support: Allows use of Cat5e UTP twisted pair cables for Ethernet; maximum length typically 100 m. DIN‑rail Mounting: Compact design suitable for control cabinets and hazardous‑area enclosures. |
Industrial Hazardous Area Networking: Suitable for connecting devices in industrial zones with explosion hazard (Zone 2, or Zone 1/0 via certified connections) to Ethernet networks. Process Automation Systems: Integration of Ethernet devices (controllers, HMIs, cameras) in petrochemical plants, refineries, chemical plants, offshore rigs, mining operations. Safe ↔ Hazardous Area Interface: Acts as the “bridge” between safe area (standard equipment) and hazardous area (intrinsically safe equipment) Ethernet segments. Cost‑Sensitive Installations: Instead of costly fibre cable or flameproof enclosures, the 9468‑ET allows use of standard copper cable (Cat5e) while maintaining safety certification. |
