Migrate to full Gigabit speeds

97 Moxa has announced the EDS¬G308, a full Gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switch. The device is equipped with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports with up to two selectable fiber optic 100/1000M SFP modules for the highest level of data transmission. The EDS-G308 series provides industrial grade features needed to withstand adverse conditions, including -40 to 75°C operating range, redundant dual 12/24/48 VDC, 18 to 30 VAC inputs, and rugged fibre optic support. The Ethernet switches have the optimum balance of speed, cost and long-term reliability, making it easy for users to upgrade highly demanding networks to full Gigabit speed, but without eliminating your existing 10/100M Ethernet networks.

The EDS-G308 comes with an innovative power-saving design that cuts power consumption by up to has been developed for remotely monitoring and controlling multi¬62 per cent. The power-saving design works by automatically detecting the link status, and reducing the power usage of ports that are idle.

As Moxa points out, Gigabit Ethernet backbones have emerged as the preferred high-speed network solution for demanding applications, such as traffic surveillance, that require high¬bandwidth networks. The company offers a wide range of Gigabit¬enabled Ethernet switches that can be used to build a Gigabit backbone that connects video¬over-IP equipment, Ethernet enabled devices, or other Ethernet switches to the control centre.
