The Crouse-Hinds series MTL 9460-ET product range provides cost-effective

Intrinsically Safe (IS) Ethernet equipment that can be installed and maintained 

easily in hazardous areas. The intrinsically safe hazardous area certification

permits the components to be mounted in a Zone 1. or Division 1 hazardous

area with connectivity into Zone 0.

In Process Automation it is also preferable to use a single cable to provide both

power and communications to the end device. The 9460-ET range can deliver

Intrinsically Safe Power over Ethernet (PoEx™) with a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable,

allowing live connection and disconnection of the end device in Zone 0 and 1

hazardous areas.

Ethernet Gateway (9461-ET)

Copper to Fibre Optic Media Converter (9465-ET)
