AMG Systems has announced the launch of its AMG577 Series, a new family of industrial-grade Layer 2+ managed Ethernet switches designed to deliver high-performance networking, advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE), and exceptional reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Purpose-built for space-constrained industrial 19-inch rack applications, including roadside cabinets, transportation infrastructure, utilities, and critical security networks, the AMG577 Series combines industrial networking performance and integrated power capabilities into a compact 1U rack-mount platform.
Unlike traditional deployments that can require 4U to 5U of rack space to accommodate an industrial Ethernet switch and separate DIN rail-mounted power supply, the AMG577 Series integrates a fully industrial managed switch and a 350W power supply within a single 1U enclosure. This innovative design simplifies installation, reduces cabinet space requirements, and lowers overall system complexity.
The AMG577 Series features eight Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports and three multi-rate SFP uplink ports supporting 100Mb, 1Gb, and 2.5Gb connectivity, providing the flexibility required for modern industrial, transportation, security, utility, and critical infrastructure networks.
Engineered for dependable operation in harsh environments, the AMG577 Series supports an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C. Advanced thermalengineering enables the switch to operate using a fully conduction-cooled, no-fan design, eliminating moving parts to maximize reliability while minimizing maintenance requirements.
“Our new AMG577 Series reflects AMG’s commitment to developing networking solutions that address real-world challenges faced by infrastructure operators and systemintegrators,” said Steve Clarke, Managing Director of AMG Systems. “By combining a fully industrial managed switch, high-power PoE, multi-gigabit uplinks, and integrated power capabilities into a compact 1U platform, the AMG577 Series helps customersmaximize available cabinet space without compromising performance or reliability.”
The AMG577 Series is available in multiple configurations, including non-PoE models and versions supporting IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (30W) and IEEE 802.3bt (60W and 90W PoE) standards. With a total PoE budget of up to 300W, the switches can power multiple high-demand devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, industrial sensors, and edge computing equipment.
To further simplify field deployments, selected models are available with an optional internal auxiliary power supply providing 65W or 120W of auxiliary output power at 12VDC, 24VDC, or 48VDC. This feature allows the AMG577 Series to directly power third-party equipment, reducing the need for additional power supplies and further minimizing rack space requirements.
With advanced Layer 2+ management capabilities, flexible power options, rugged industrial design, and industry-leading space efficiency, the AMG577 Series providesan ideal networking platform for transportation systems, intelligent traffic management, roadside cabinets, surveillance networks, utilities, industrial automation, and other mission-critical infrastructure applications.
