We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet Connections",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Industrial managed switches offer high speed from
Korenix Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "The recovery time of a Gigabit fibre ring or a fast Ethernet copper ring connected in JetNet 5010G can reach to less than 5ms".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Ethernet hub handles 100Mbit/s from
B and R Industrial Automation Corp: "The AC808 Ethernet hub automatically recognises the correct transfer speed and configures the respective channels to it".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Siemens Automation and Drives
concerning its Simatic Box PC 627B and Panel PC 677B
- take a look at Industrial PCs receive new processors
which says: "Intel Core 2 Duo processors help Siemens' new PCs handle demanding computing and visualisation tasks simultaneously".
Take a look also at the news release from Harting, Ethernet switches connect seven clients,
as well as Module monitors press-fit operations from HBM UK,
and Flagship gigabit switch enhances redundancy from Korenix Technology.
