MTL ExLAN intrinsically safe ethernet OEM interface

Please note that this product has been discontinued. The information contained on this page is for reference use only.

The Crouse-Hinds series MTL ExLAN is an intrinsically safe (IS) 10/100Mbps Ethernet Interface incorporating CSLs patented technology.  This module is intended to simplify OEM product design and certification. It ensures full IS compatibility of interconnected devices including the current range of MTL 9400 IS Ethernet modules and future product ranges.

As well as providing the essential network LAN interface, the module also voltage-clamps the equipment’s main supply rail (typically 5V or 3V3) together, ensuring that the generated Ethernet signals are limited to low Intrinsically Safe levels.  It is fully compatible with PoExTM (12VDC Power over Ethernet for Hazardous Areas).
