No complex IT programming is required. Users plug in the needed modules, configure the browser-based interface, and the expandable switch is ready. With a head station and two side-by-side expansion modules, the MMS allows for expansion from 2 to 24 ports. Front or bottom cable access options provide distributed Ethernet capability in small junction boxes or panels. Point-and-click diagnostics are combined with LED indicators to enable plant floor staff to easily install or perform ongoing device and network checks. Twisted pair, glass fiber, polymer or HCS cables are available for the MMS, which uses RJ-45 vibration-proof, push-pull locking.
