EIS Miniature Switch Delivers Affordable Ethernet In A Compact Size
Downers Grove, Illinois (January 15, 2002)-The EIS miniature switch in the CTRLink(TM) family advances switch technology, designed for control panels where space is at a premium. It comibines versatility and flexibility with increased network
performance, all with affordability in mind for industrial and commercial applications.
The EISM5-100T is classified as a five-port switching hub, comparable in function and capabilities to its larger EIS8-100T counterpart. One port can be used as an uplink port to connect two hubs together; thereby, eliminating the need for a crossover
cable.
Similar to other switches, it segments the Ethernet network into five separate collision domains, acting as a bridge to increase network diameter. The EISM5-l00T meets regulatory agency approvals and supports redundant power connections and low-voltage AC or DC power sources.
LEDs aid troubleshooting. Activity/link/data rate LEDs exist for each port. Speed is indicated by color; green for 100 Mbps and yellow for 10 Mbps. A single power LED is also provided. DIN-rail mounting makes installation quick and easy.
Price for each unit is $425.
