Ethernet Switches

Q: What is the difference between a switch and a router?

A switch connects devices within a single network, while a router connects different networks together, such as your local network with the internet. The router routes data traffic between networks, while the switch handles traffic within your network.

Q: Can your switches withstand tough industrial environments?

Yes, our Ethernet switches are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. With a rugged design and an operating temperature range of -40℃ to 75℃, they can be used in environments with extreme temperatures, vibrations, and dust.

FAQ – Common Questions About Ethernet Switches

What is an Ethernet switch and how does it work?

An Ethernet switch is a central device that connects multiple network devices, such as computers, printers, and servers, within a local area network (LAN). The switch sends data between devices by directing traffic to the specific destination port, instead of sending it to all ports. This results in faster and more efficient communication.

What is the difference between a switch and a router?

A switch connects devices within the same network, while a router connects different networks together, for example your local network with the internet. The router directs data traffic between networks, while the switch handles traffic within your network.

Can your switches withstand tough industrial environments?

Yes, our Ethernet switches are designed to withstand demanding industrial environments. With a robust construction and an operating temperature of -40 ℃ to 75 ℃ they can be used in environments with extreme temperatures, vibrations and dust.

How many ports do I need on a switch?

It depends on how many devices you need to connect. If you have a smaller network, one is often enough. 5-ports switch, while larger installations may require a 8-ports switch or more. It is a good idea to choose a switch with a few extra ports to have room for future expansion.
