Korenix JetRock Series IP67/68 Ethernet Switch Passed the Waterproof/Dust-tight Test
- Submersible IP68 rating- scaling new depths!

Taipei, Taiwan, Nov., 2008 ---When it comes to waterproof submergibility, measured according to the EN60529 IP rating system, most manufacturers offer either the standard splash-proof IP54 rating, or the bare basic IP67 submersible rating - just 1 meter’s depth for 30 minutes. Korenix is the first and only manufacturer to offer the superior IP68 specification, whereby a manufacturer can determine at what depth and for how long its equipment must remain waterproof. Not content with just the entry-level 1 meter for 30 minutes. Korenix’s meticulously JetRock series is certified as waterproof-submersible to an unprecedented depth of 1 meter for 24 hours.

As for dust-tight protection, JetRock series also passed the dust-tight test. The enclosure under test is supported inside the test chamber and the pressure inside the enclosure is maintained below the surrounding atmospheric pressure by a vacuum pump, e.g., due to thermal cycling effects. The test continues for more than 8 hours. According to the achievement of IP68 rated protection, JetRock series can survive under the harshest environments and overcomes the challenges of extreme environments!

JetRock series is designed to provide ultra rugged protection against the threats of the toughest working environments and the roughest industrial usages. Sealed by extra thickened aluminum enclosure, JetRock achieves the highest level of ingress protection, IP67/IP68, and can withstand significant impacts. Equipped with rugged RJ45 and M12 connectors, JetRock guarantees robust connection even subjected to constant vibration and heavy shocks over the long term.
