Modular redundant switch

Increasing ethernet speed is an important issue for industrial automation applications. Moxa is launching a gigabit ethernet switch that is designed to help users supervise their ethernet network: the EtherDevice Switch EDS-726, a 26-port modular gigabit managed switch.

Moxa EDS-726 series' modular design allows users to install up to 2 gigabit ports and 24 fast ethernet ports by choosing from three 1-port gigabit modules, with copper or fibre optic connectors and eight 4-port Fast ethernet modules with copper or fibre optic (SC/ST) connectors. For convenient viewing from all vertical angles, EDS-726 features a 60° tilted LED panel that displays the port's status and activity. Also available are a pluggable Compact flash for configuration back-up, a heat sink on the back panel for increasing system stability and intelligent network management that supports QoS, IGMP Snooping/GMRP, VLAN, LACP, SNMP V1/V2C/V3 and RMON.
