PA-52R-5G
Compact industrial firewall with 5G RedCap, eight Gigabit ports and two DC inputs.

Overview
The PA-52R-5G combines a 5G RedCap modem with two SIMs, eight copper interfaces and two Gigabit optical interfaces. The 2.5 kg enclosure uses passive cooling and can be mounted on a DIN rail, wall or rack tray. It operates from -40 °C to 60 °C; operation at 70 °C requires the external airflow specified by the manufacturer.
