The 9460-ET Series 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 and the associated apparatus certification of the

9468-ET IS Ethernet isolator and 9491-PS IS power

supply allow this equipment to be mounted in a

Zone 2 hazardous area and connected to intrinsically safe equipment in

a Zone 0 or 1. or Division 1 hazardous area.

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

Series 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.
