Fast Ethernet Switches Boost System Safety

Expanding the rugged MIPIOS line of Fast Ethernet switches, the RS3 managed Ethernet switch and RS4 unmanaged Ethernet switch are built using a durable aluminum housing and robust M12 connectors with eight Fast Ethernet ports per switch. The switches promise to increase system safety in harsh, mobile, and mission critical applications. Maintenance-free and fanless, the switches withstand extreme conditions and can restore themselves. If a link is temporarily unavailable, frames are sent via backup/redundant links to avoid data loss. A built-in test mechanism further ensures reliable operation. Other features include full- and half-duplex operation with auto-negotiation and non-blocking store-and-forward switching and a service port to give authorized users simple configuration options. Pricing for the MIPIOS Ethernet switches start at $1,553 for the managed RS3 and $1,148 for the unmanaged RS4. For more details, contact Stephen Cunha at MEN MICRO INC., Ambler, PA.
