Overview
Introduction
This managed industrial switch comes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network protocol
—X-Ring which provides an easy way to
establish a redundant Ethernet network. With ultra high-speed recovery
time (less than 300 ms) and a long MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
the industrial switch will continue to operate until a Gigabit network
infrastructure has been established, without requiring extra upgrade
costs.
In addition to10/100/1000Base-TX fast Ethernet ports, the switch has
SFP (mini-GBIC) ports. Traditional RJ-45 ports can be used for up linking
short distance (less than 100 m) wide-band paths, while the SFP slots
can be used for the application of wideband uploading and long distance
transmissions adding flexibility.
