Ethernet Direct has introduced a stackable workgroup switch to support industrial network applications by offering a reliable connection to the backbone network
The growth of Ethernet devices requires a high density and high performance uplink ports to ensure that data will feed up from the production up to the SCADA and Enterprise systems, while Application Servers will provide distributed information down to coordinate automation systems.
Enabling VLAN control ensures accurate and secure communication.
Multicast messages and Peer-to-Peer synchronisation will generate additional traffic as more real time applications are run over Ethernet.
Ethernet Direct offers managed switches which have 24 ports of 10/100TX with 2 SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) that will allow you to mix both single-mode or multi-mode fibre.
The devices are full SNMP managed switches intended for the control room environment but can be used in production areas in the pharmaceutical and electronics plants.
The Jaguar JME-24F2 Managed Ethernet Workgroup switch is a powerful yet flexible multi-layer switch that delivers maximum throughput to high density workgroups at the edge or in the backbone of any network environment.
The non-blocking design of the switch delivers simultaneous, full wire-speed, low-latency throughput to all ports.
In addition, the 1U rack-mount form factor uses less rack space and provides a lower per-port cost.
