Crystal Group rugged network switches combine enterprise-class functionality and MIL-SPEC environmental performance to provide reliable, high-throughput connectivity and data handling in deployed environments.

Crystal Group's latest network switch is housed in rugged, lightweight, and compact enclosure – a choice of transit case or 19-inch rack with strain-hardened, aircraft-grade aluminum – designed to survive harsh environments, including extreme temperatures or high shock and vibration.
The Crystal Group RCS7150 Rugged Network Switch supports IPv6 routing, offers plug-and-play functionality, and is compatible with industry command line technology enabling the integration of multiple units into a single logical unit addressable with a single IP address.
Both 12- and 24-port configurations of the RCS7150 are available in a 1U form factor and weigh just 8 pounds. Mounting for the unit complies with the EIA-310 19-inch rack standard using Delrin® glides or a fixed mount.
