Comprehensive Understanding of Industrial Ethernet Switch

Date: 2023-03-06 16:07:00

　Industrial Ethernet Switch plays an essential role in various industries such as energy, environmental protection, transportation, smart city, surveillance, etc. And the demand for industrial Ethernet switches is also increasing. This article provides a comprehensive understanding of industrial Ethernet switches.
\
What is Industrial Ethernet Switch?
An industrial Ethernet switch is a networking switch designed for use in industrial settings. It has high reliability and high-speed data transmission for industrial networks, including 10/100G industrial switches. Typically, an industrial Ethernet switch is a cost-effective and efficient way to manage communication between various types of industrial equipment. It can withstand shocks, vibrations, and extreme temperature fluctuations from -40℃ to 75℃.

Types of Industrial Ethernet Switch

1. Managed /Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

A managed industrial Ethernet switch allows users to manage, configure, and monitor LAN settings. For an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, there's no need to set anything up, the user can plug and play immediately with the network.

2. PoE / Non-PoE  Industrial Ethernet Switch

A PoE industrial Ethernet switch is a networking device with a PoE passthrough. It has multiple Ethernet ports to connect network segments and supplies power via an Ethernet cable. Non-PoE industrial Ethernet switch has no PoE in the switch to supply electrical power for end-users over Ethernet.

3. Din-Rail/ Rack-Mount / Wall-Mount Industrial Ethernet Switch

Din-Rail/ Rack-Mount/Wall-Mount industrial Ethernet switch provides flexible mounting options for easy installation. It is ideal for use in cabinet space in harsh environments.

\
Features and Benefits
Industrial Ethernet switch has RJ45 ports and SFP slots. Electrical interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps, full/half duplex mode, MDI/MDIX (POE function optional), layer three management function, rack mounting, and industrial temperature. It is made of aluminum alloy to achieve a protection rating of IP40.

What is an Industrial Ethernet Switch Used For?
An industrial ethernet switch provides high-performance and high-speed data transmission for industrial networks. It is used in industries for various reasons:
● Harsh Environmental Tolerance: With a rugged design, the industrial ethernet switch is durable and can work at extreme temperatures. It is ideal for harsh work environments, like oil and gas platforms, outdoor electrical applications, etc.
● Noise and Distraction Reduction: Fiber optic and twisted wire cables are supported by industrial Ethernet switches. Fiber optic cables are required for long-distance transmission because twisted wire cables can only transmit data across distances of up to 100 meters. In this case, industrial Ethernet switches can lessen electrical noise and improve point-to-point network connections.
● Network Simplification. An unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch is ideal for entry-level, low-priority networks. It can provide packet filtering and support connectivity for five to ten ports at a relatively low price.
● Capabilities Enhanced: The managed industrial Ethernet switch provides advanced network management tools, such as improved traffic filtering, network topography, device mapping, etc. It offers a high degree of network security and helps you protect sensitive data passing through your network.

Applications
Industrial Ethernet switch is used in industrial automation, security monitoring, data transmission network, transportation, energy, mining, smart city, etc.
\
Conclusion
Industrial Ethernet switch has higher-level protection ratings, a fast ring network, fast redundancy, redundant power supply, and a fanless design. It is used in industrial applications.Sun Telecom specializes in providing one-stop total fiber optic solutions for all fiber optic application industries worldwide. Contact us if any needs.
