| The
SL-8MS is an 8 port industrial Ethernet managed switch that was
designed to be rugged, reliable, real-time and secure. The ruggedness
comes from its tough DIN rail packaging, industrial ratings plus
SIXNET’s 25+ years of expertise in designing truly industrial
rated products. The reliability is field proven with over 1,000,000
service-free hours (MTBF) based on real-world data of thousands
of switches currently in the field. The real-time operation is possible
due to advanced networking functions such as SNMP, RSTP, QoS, VLAN,
IGMP and much more. Plus there is real security using HTTPS, SSH,
SNMPv3, password protection and authentication. SIXNET industrial
Ethernet switches are the toughest and most reliable! |
