Introduction
In today’s connected infrastructure – from transportation to industrial networks – reliable power and data are non-negotiable. The new Comnet CNG6F2T4MPB Hardened Managed Ethernet Switch delivers both, designed to keep your critical systems operating under the harshest conditions.
Industrial-Grade Power & Performance
The CNG6F2T4MPB offers four 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) RJ45 ports with Type 4 IEEE 802.3bt PoE up to 90W per port and a total 360W PoE budget. Two 1G SFP ports provide fiber connectivity for high-speed uplinks, all using Comnet SFPs for connector type and distance flexibility.
Advanced Layer 2+ Management Features
Built to secure and streamline your network, this switch supports:
-
VLAN, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 & RMON
-
Static routing and IPv6
-
HTTPS/SSH for enhanced network security
-
Device Binding, ACLs, and 802.1x authentication
-
Jumbo frame support (10K bytes)
-
Web-based, Telnet, and CLI configuration
Designed for Harsh Environments
With redundant power supply inputs, a wide operating temperature range (-40 to +75°C), and a rugged design, the CNG6F2T4MPB is ideal for intelligent transportation, surveillance, and industrial control systems. It also features two dry contacts for digital input and an alarm relay output to alert operators to critical events.
Trusted Quality & Warranty
As with all Comnet products, the CNG6F2T4MPB is TAA and NDAA compliant and backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring peace of mind and long-term performance.
Conclusion
The CNG6F2T4MPB delivers unmatched power, security, and reliability – a true cornerstone for your next infrastructure project.

No Enclosure to Build: Inside Comnet's Pre-Configured CNPE Series
Every outdoor network deployment starts with the same short list of problems: how do you power the device, how do you protect it from the environment, and how do you connect it back to the network. Historically, that meant sourcing an enclosure, a power supply, circuit breakers, surge protection, and cable management separately, then building the whole thing in-house before it ever reached the field.
Three New Hardened Ethernet Switches From Comnet
Comnet has added three new Ethernet switches to its portfolio: the CNG7F2T5P, CWX4F20T4M, and CNX16F4T12MPB. Each one addresses a scenario that comes up repeatedly in security, industrial, and government network design: unmanaged edge deployments, high-power PoE for demanding field devices, and high-density managed cores. All three are TAA and NDAA compliant.
What Are Hardened Ethernet Switches? A Buyer's Guide to Industrial-Grade Networking
A camera feed drops at 2 a.m. in a substation control room. A traffic signal loses its uplink during a heat wave. A factory floor network goes dark after two years of vibration and electrical noise. Commercial-grade switches aren't built for these conditions, and when they fail, the cost shows up as downtime, safety risk, and emergency truck rolls. Hardened Ethernet switches exist to solve exactly this problem.
