Rack mount switch enclosures

The enclosures of the managed industrial Ethernet switches are specifically designed to withstand these aggressive environments. These products are available from stock. These can be in terms of humidity, temperature, dust, water, or other conditions. The switches can withstand temperatures as low as -40 and +75 degrees Celsius and can even operate submerged in water (depending on the type). Many of the managed switches offer the option of incorporating redundant ring technology into the industrial network to ensure reliability and uptime in aggressive factory environments. It protects your industrial network from interruptions and unwanted external access with its strong and fast self-recovery capabilities and the IEEE802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is used to build a fault-tolerant ring. The protocol is optimized to support large rings and fault recovery times of less than 20 ms. Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 Software VLAN Routing for secure and flexible management helps you maintain control over your organization. Many of the Planet industrial managed switches include cybersecurity network solutions to minimize security risks. The latest generation of IGS-5225 switches incorporates these cybersecurity solutions. These industrial switches feature a DC power supply and often even a redundant DC power supply, or possibly a DC power supply with an AC power supply as a backup. The layer 2 industrial switches often offer, among other things: - VLAN - Spanning Tree Protocol - Storm Control Support - High performance of Store and Forward architecture, - Prevents packet loss with back pressure (half-duplex) and IEEE802.3x pause frame flow control (full-duplex) The layer 3 industrial switches offer: - IP Interfaces (max 128 VLAN interfaces) - Routing table (max 128 routing entries) - Routing protocols (IPv4/IPv6 hardware static routing) In addition, the switches offer, depending on the switch type, many options and features in the areas of: - Physical ports - Housing - Digital inputs / outputs - Layer 2 features - Layer 3 features - Quality of Service - Multicast - Security - Management - Etc.
