We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet Switches",
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 Co-branded switches ease network convergence from
Rockwell Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Rockwell Automation and Cisco integrated and co-branded industrial managed switch line uses the current Cisco Catalyst switch architecture and feature set".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Report of great strides in industrial Ethernet from
AutomationDirect: "Ethernet switches are designed specifically for PLC, HMI and drive users in industrial environments".
In November 2007, we covered the news from GarrettCom Europe
concerning its 6K16 Switch
- take a look at Industrial switches ease motorway congestion
which says: "Industrial Etherent switches are used in a pilot scheme designed to reduce motorway congestion at peak times".
Take a look also at the news release from Sixnet, Ethernet switches provide rugged connections,
as well as Industrial PCs offer fast processes from Hayes Control Systems,
and Ethernet switches allow easing exchanges from Harting.
