Ethernet Direct has a full line of Gigabit solutions that allows users to build systems with rugged reliable Gigabit Ethernet switches that will provide years of reliable operation

Ethernet Direct has released a cost competitive stackable workgroup switch that offers reliable connection to the backbone network The growth of Ethernet devices on the plant floor will mean greater amounts of communication consuming available bandwidth

Data from the plant floor will feed up to Scada and enterprise systems, while application servers will provide distributed information down to co-ordinate automation systems.

Multicast messages and peer-to-peer synchronisation will generate additional traffic as more real-time applications are run over Ethernet.

In order to provide an infrastructure that will handle this increasing traffic you need to consider using Gigabit connections at critical connections.

Ethernet Direct has a full line of Gigabit solutions that allows users to build systems with rugged reliable Gigabit Ethernet switches that will provide years of reliable operation and able to handle your network loading in the future.

Ethernet Direct offers managed switches which have 24 ports of 10/100/1000TX with 4 SFP (small form-factor pluggable) that will allow users to mix both single-mode or multi-mode fibre.

These are full SNMP managed switches intended for the control room environment but can be used in production areas in the Pharmaceutical and Electronics plants.

The Jaguar JMG-24F4 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Workgroup switch is a very powerful yet flexible multi-layer switch which delivers maximum throughput to high density workgroups at the edge or in the backbone of any network environment.

The nonblocking design of the switch delivers simultaneous, full wire-speed, low-latency throughput to all ports.

In addition, the 1U rack-mount form factor uses less rack space and provides a lower per-port cost.
