Ethernet Switches

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

En switch kopplar samman enheter inom ett och samma nätverk, medan en router kopplar samman olika nätverk med varandra, till exempel ditt lokala nätverk med internet. Routern dirigerar datatrafik mellan nätverk, medan switchen hanterar trafiken inom ditt nätverk.

Q: Can your switches withstand tough industrial environments?

Ja, våra Ethernet-switchar är utformade för att klara av krävande industriella miljöer. Med en robust konstruktion och en drifttemperatur från -40 ℃ till 75 ℃ kan de användas i miljöer med extrema temperaturer, vibrationer och damm.

Q: How many ports do I need on a switch?

Det beror på hur många enheter du behöver koppla upp. Om du har ett mindre nätverk räcker ofta en 5-ports switch, medan större installationer kan kräva en 8-ports switch eller fler. Det är bra att välja en switch med några extra portar för att ha utrymme för framtida expansion.

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.
