Overview
The GarrettCom ES42P-2ST-PD is a compact, rugged Magnum Series edge switch built for industrial Ethernet applications in extreme environments. The Magnum ES42P Premium-rated units are for temperature uncontrolled sheltered applications, typically located outdoors. This model combines a compact edge switch design delivering 6 Ethernet ports, with either two 100 Mb fiber and 4 10/100 copper ports. The Magnum ES42 Edge Switches and other Magnum products are designed and manufactured in the USA.
Key Features
- Premium-grade extended temperature components with patent-pending thermal techniques
- Two sets of LED indicators—one on the front for panel/wall mounting convenience and one on the side for rack-mount visibility

Typical Applications
In heavy-duty industrial applications, Ethernet LANs increasingly are used where small groups of nodes at the edge need to be connected into larger LAN structures. The Magnum ES42, a versatile family of small edge switches, uses the latest networking technology and innovative product packaging features to serve edge-of-the-network applications. Common deployments include:
- Outdoor CCTV and surveillance systems with pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera control
- Transportation and rail infrastructure networks
- Remote industrial automation and utility monitoring
- Factory floor edge-of-network switching requiring extended temperature range
- Harsh-environment Ethernet connectivity with fiber optic backbone links
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard industrial Ethernet networks (10/100Base-T over copper; 100Base-FX over fiber)
- DIN-Rail and rack-mount infrastructure (includes mounting brackets)
- AC and DC power distribution (selectable via terminal blocks or external DC jack)
- SNMP-based network management and monitoring systems
- Link-Loss-Learn (LLL) self-healing redundant LAN topologies
