Overview

The Carat20-D2FX2TX8GPAPL-DP switch is a two-wire long-distance transmission switch for Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer), supporting 2 x 100M optical ports, 2 x 100M electrical ports, and 8 x 10BASE-T1L Ethernet-APL spur ports.

Ethernet-APL is a two-wire (single-pair) Ethernet physical layer designed specifically for the process industry. It is an extension of the single-pair Ethernet specification based on the IEEE 802.3cg 10BASE-T1L (IEEE 802.3cg-2019) standard, enabling 10 Mbps communication speed and 1000 m communication distance.

The two-wire communication cable can simultaneously transmit data and supply power to field devices, meeting explosion-proof design specifications and suitable for hazardous production areas.APL-based control systems can be widely used in mining, oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and many other industries.
