Four additions to the vendor’s EKI-7000 line of managed industrial Ethernet switches offer integrated 100Mbps fiber optic ports.
The switches are designed to provide advanced traffic control for optimum network performance and security, along with self-healing fiber optic ring capabilities to ensure network uptime in adverse environments. The EKI-7554MI and EKI-7554SI offer four 10/100Base-TX ports and two 100Base-FX fiber ports, while the EKI-7559MI and EKI-7559SI offer eight 10/100Base-TX ports and two 100Base-FX fiber ports. The dual fiber connections can be used to connect multiple managed switches in a self-healing ring configuration, which provides a secondary communications path in the event that the primary is interrupted. These industrially hardened switches are equipped with SC type optical fiber connections, and are available in multi-mode (MI models) and single-mode (SI models) fiber configurations.
