Low-cost switches for demanding applications
Belden, a leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications has added two new unmanaged gigabit ethernet switches to the Spider family as part of its Hirschmann brand in the EMEA region.
The Spider II Giga EEC Pro, available with either five twisted pair ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) or two additional SFP slots for fiber optic transceivers (1000 BASE-SX/LX), supports Quality of Service compliant with IEEE 802.1D. This allows prioritisation of data packages and means that the switch can be used for Profinet applications in the mechanical engineering sector for example. The SPIDER II Giga EEC Jumbo is also available in two different 5-port versions, with or without SFP slots.
Because both versions can handle Jumbo Frames with up to 9014 bytes of user data, they are particularly suitable for video applications. All switch versions conform to relevant industry standards for shock and vibration resistance as well as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and are built to comply with cUL508 safety requirements.
