A Legacy of Signal Transmission Excellence
Hirschmann has been engineering industrial communication networks for over three decades. As a Belden brand, Hirschmann brings together two complementary product lines—an industrial OT switching and security portfolio built for the harshest field environments, and a Hirschmann IT enterprise switching and wireless portfolio purpose-designed for IT/OT convergence at the network core.
From a DIN-rail switch on a production line to a modular chassis at the data-centre core, Hirschmann’s full-stack portfolio delivers a single, consistent networking architecture—managed through Industrial HiVision, its unified network management platform. This end-to-end approach reduces integration complexity, accelerates troubleshooting, and supports the migration from isolated OT islands to connected, data-driven operations.
LHS is an authorised distributor of Hirschmann products, providing access to the complete portfolio alongside local pre-sales technical support and configuration advisory.
Product Categories
Introductory copy (below the brand overview): CTT Cable offers a comprehensive portfolio spanning six primary cable families, each available in multiple construction types, conductor sizes, and performance ratings to match diverse project specifications.
Industrial OT Switching (Hirschmann Essential Range)
The core of Hirschmann’s industrial portfolio is a family of rugged managed Ethernet switches designed for demanding OT environments...
Industrial Firewall — EAGLE
The EAGLE family provides stateful packet inspection and NAT-based network segmentation designed specifically for OT and SCADA environments.
Industrial Wireless — BAT (Wireless Access Points & Clients)
The BAT (Belden Access Technology) product range extends Hirschmann’s industrial network to mobile assets and areas where cabling is impractical.
Industrial Router — INET
The INET family provides secure WAN connectivity and remote access for distributed OT sites. Supporting LTE/4G and DSL WAN uplinks alongside dual Ethernet LAN ports,
Network Management — Industrial HiVision
Industrial HiVision is Hirschmann’s unified network management platform covering the full OT switch, firewall, and wireless estate. It provides real-time topology discovery, alarm management...
Hirschmann IT — Enterprise Networking Range
The Hirschmann IT product line extends the brand’s networking expertise from the OT floor to the enterprise core. Developed for IT/OT convergence environments where industrial reliability meets enterprise-scale performance, the IT range is fully managed through the same Industrial HiVision platform as the OT portfolio.
