The Husky switch product line offers a complete range of robust industrial Ethernet switches from unmanaged to web-smart and fully managed SNMP switches in both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit versions.
With a network built with 20 to 30 units of industrial Ethernet switches, the X-ring redundant ring allows an auto recovery in less than 300ms when the network failed.
The X-Ring proprietary protocol incorporates both coupling ring and dual homing.
When there are more than one X-Ring group set up in a network, the coupling ring function ensures redundancy in the transmissions between the two ring groups.
The dual homing feature can ensure two X-Ring groups with redundant backup paths when connected to a backbone switch, and can be enabled in the switches to allow standby links to the upper level switch.
Ethernet Direct's Husky Industrial Ethernet Switches are designed with superb hardware and software advantages to excel most managed switches.
These switches are designed to suit critical network environments with IP31 enclosures and are tested under extensive industrial EMI and for safety.
