Industrial Ethernet Switch: How to Select

Industrial Ethernet Switch: https://www.rspsupply.com/c-333-ether... In today’s video we are going to discuss the different things you should consider when selecting an industrial ethernet switch for you specific application. For more information on industrial ethernet switches, please reference our other video which we will link in the description below. Ethernet switches, also referred to as network switches are a common piece of hardware used in the industrial industry to help facilitate communication between the various devices in your particular application. The network switch sends and receives data from various devices that are connected to it... and directs that data where it needs to go. Although the basic principles of a network switch seem simple, there is a lot to consider when trying to decide what type of switch is needed for you specific application. Today we will discuss the different details you should take into consideration to ensure you to select the right switch. One of the first things you should consider when selecting an ethernet switch is whether you need your switch to be managed or unmanaged. Let me quickly go over each so you have a better understanding of what this means. When you have an unmanaged switch, the switch will simply receive data from the devices that it is hooked up to and route that data to the desired destination. It can do this very quickly. However, this is just about all an unmanaged switch can do. A managed switch will you give you the same features as an unmanaged switch, but also gives you the added benefits of being able to configure, manage and monitor your Local Area Network, or LAN. Because of this added control, you will have the ability to manage how data travels across your network and also control over who can access it... along with other features. In many cases, an unmanaged switch is all that is needed and is the more common option. However, there are many scenarios where a managed switch is warranted. Once this decision has been made, there are several other things you should consider. Now let’s talk about the power requirements of the switch, and what type power you have access to. It is very common for network switches to require some form of DC power. With that in mind, it is important to consider what type of power you will have in your situation. If AC power is supplied, you will need a power supply in order to provide the necessary DC power the network switch will require. Although a simple step, taking power into consideration is important when selecting the right switch for your specific scenario. You should also take into consideration how many devices you intend to connect to the switch. Ensure that the switch you select has enough available ports to accommodate everything you need. It is a good idea to have some spare ports available in case you ever need to connect more devices in the future. Lastly, let's discuss the speed requirements you might need and whether you intend to use copper ports or fiber ports. If you intend to use and transfer large amounts of data across the switch it is a good idea to ensure that the switch operates at high enough speeds to accommodate this data. Typically you have a few options, the most common options are either Fast or Gigabit. Fast allows for up to 100 megabytes per second to be transferred while Gigabit allows for up to one Gigabit per second to be transferred. So it important to make sure you select a switch that can meet your current and possibly, your future needs. Also, you will need to determine whether you want copper ports or Fiber ports or some combination of the two. Copper ports are much more common and is most likely is what you are used to seeing. However, fiber is becoming more commonly used as time goes on. So again, think about possible future considerations when selecting a switch with either copper or fiber ports. As you can clearly see, there is a lot to consider when selecting the proper ethernet switch. Armed with the necessary information about your specific application as well as the different features and configurations that are available…. You should be able to select the right switch that will last well into the future.
