U.S. Converters inventory of industrial Ethernet switches has started growing. There seems to be a growing tendency for business using this rugged and highly reliable version of Ethernet switches. Is the reason an increase in the economic upturn? We hope so.
What exactly is an industrial Ethernet switch? Well, the answer is actually simple, an industrial Ethernet switch does exactly the same job as a standard Ethernet switch the only difference is that the industrial Ethernet switch is more reliable, better protected and often in a rugged / solid version.
Often the performance is better and more reliable than a standard home office Ethernet switch.
Most industrial Ethernet switches offers a backup system such as dual power supply and redundant network capabilities. For example if one leg of the network goes down then another backup leg is ready to take over the communication to keep up the network. This is sometimes called redundant ring capabilities.
