The RS PRO range of ethernet switches continues to improve. Here we are pleased to introduce the superb 5-port hardened industrial ethernet switch module with 10/100Mbps transmission speed. This high-quality device is packed with operational features suitable for ethernet networks, operates on an unregulated voltage range of 44 V dc to 57 V dc, and consumes a maximum power of 4W. The switch has a compact design with an integral DIN rail mount and a non-conducting polyamide case with an easy wire removable screw terminal block.
Ethernet switches, also known as LAN (local area network) switches, are an integral part of any computer network interface. Fixed switches have a fixed number of ports and can come in speeds Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), Ten Gigabit (10/100/1000/10000 Mbps), and 40/100 Gbps speeds. When choosing the speed, you should consider the network needs of the user and whether they will be transferring large volumes of data. This RS PRO Ethernet switch has a speed of 10/100 Mbps.
