'Make Your Own' 5-port managed switch arrives

With a five-port managed Ethernet switch, OEMs can use its ET-5MS-OEM-2 board to produce their own Ethernet switch, by adding packaging, a power supply and connectors.
SIXNET, one of the worlds leading manufacturers of industrial Ethernet products, proudly introduces a brand new 5-port managed Ethernet switch, perfect for OEM applications. OEMs can use the new ET-5MS-OEM-2 board to create their own Ethernet Switch, by adding packaging, a power supply and connectors. Or they can embed this super compact board (3.5in x 2.5in /8.9 x 6.4cm) directly into their existing product or system to add powerful Ethernet connectivity.

The ET-5MS-OEM-2 is fully industrial rated for operation from - 40 to + 75 deg C and low power, drawing less than 2W.

All EtherTRAK Ethernet Managed Switches offers real-time secure performance with SNMP network management, along with RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol) support rings and other redundancy schemes.

This ensures the reliability of your network with automatic switchover on a segment failure.

The unit also has a self-test/alarm output signal plus authentication and encryption features.

SIXNET managed switches can detect and report network problems before they seriously affect network operations.

And like other SIXNET IPm products, they also come with IPm Linux open-source tools.

This enables integrators and OEMs to enhance the functionality of these Linux-based switches.

SIXNET managed switches work reliably through the dead of winter and those hot summer days.

Unlike office-grade switches that are intended only for use in air-conditioned offices, SIXNET Ethernet switches are designed for those places that you don't want to be - over a wide temperature range.

SIXNET switches have been proven even in military applications such as in LAVs, ships and aircrafts.

With over 1 million hours mean time between failures, a twenty-year support and service policy, free field-installable upgrades, plus more, SIXNET calls this a sound investment.
