Specify Hirschmann BRS20-16009999-TTDY99HHSESXX.X.XX where sixteen copper ports and a metal EEC enclosure are required
Part number 942170054 corresponds to Hirschmann BRS20-16009999-TTDY99HHSESXX.X.XX, catalog Type BRS20-16TX-EEC. This fanless BOBCAT managed switch provides sixteen 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 connections, DIN rail mounting and an operating temperature range of −40 to +70 °C. Its documented metal housing distinguishes this particular configuration from the PC-ABS standard-temperature BRS20-16TX.
Check the enclosure space and mounting arrangement
The published dimensions are 123 × 140 × 115 mm and the weight is 1,450 g. Use these values for this exact EEC version rather than carrying over the dimensions of another sixteen-port BOBCAT model. The IP30 protection rating calls for a suitable installation enclosure. Provide space for network cable routing and access to the power and signaling terminal block when arranging the DIN rail equipment.

Managed operation for the industrial network
VLANs, QoS, port prioritization and IGMP snooping are included in the listed switching functions. HIPER-Ring, MRP and RSTP provide documented options for supported redundancy arrangements. For maintenance, the device offers cable testing, port mirroring, Syslog and link speed monitoring, together with HTTPS, SSHv2 and SNMP management. USB-C is listed for local management and device replacement.
Common selection questions
Does the EEC version provide Gigabit RJ45 ports?
The port specification for this exact code is sixteen 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports. Use Fast Ethernet rates when sizing the network.
Does the metal housing make it suitable for exposed outdoor mounting?
The stated ingress protection is IP30. The metal enclosure and −40 to +70 °C range do not replace the need for appropriate protection against the installation environment.
Which supply rating should be used for panel planning?
The catalog specifies 2 × 12–24 V DC, with 10 W power consumption and a listed heat output of 34 BTU/h.
Request a configuration-specific quotation
Send Hirschmann BRS20-16009999-TTDY99HHSESXX.X.XX, part number 942170054 and the required quantity with your inquiry. If replacing an installed switch, include the existing full order code and required network functions. This helps identify the metal-housing EEC version while keeping the electrical, environmental and software requirements together.
Use configuration-specific mechanical data for the panel layout
The metal-housing EEC version has its own dimensions and weight, so the cabinet drawing should reference Hirschmann BRS20-16009999-TTDY99HHSESXX.X.XX explicitly. Check the available DIN rail space, the arrangement of neighboring equipment and access to the terminal block. The published enclosure dimensions describe the device itself; cable bends and connector access require additional consideration in the installation layout. Record the device weight when reviewing the mounting arrangement, especially when several components share the same rail assembly.
The electrical schedule should identify the documented DC supply requirement and the switch power consumption. Use the 10 W figure as part of the panel power budget, together with the requirements of the other installed components. Environmental planning should consider both the −40 to +70 °C operating range and the IP30 protection rating. These ratings describe different aspects of the product and should both be matched to the installation conditions.
Replacement planning for an existing sixteen-port switch
Begin a replacement review with the full label, part number and network configuration of the installed device. Count the connected ports and identify the role of each connection, including any links used by the selected redundancy arrangement. The same number of RJ45 ports does not establish identical software, environmental or mechanical characteristics. Compare the configuration reference and installation dimensions before releasing the replacement for purchase.
For commissioning, restore or prepare the approved management, VLAN and redundancy settings, then verify the actual link status and intended network behavior. Keep a configuration backup and document any changes made during the work. An inquiry for Hirschmann BRS20-16009999-TTDY99HHSESXX.X.XX should include quantity, required accessories and the relevant delivery requirements. This provides a clear basis for checking the offered configuration without assuming that a generic BRS20 designation identifies the same metal-housing EEC version.
