This company now offers a five-port Ethernet switch with IP67 protection for use in harsh industrial environments. The switch’s compact design and ease of installation makes it suitable for the machine construction sector. Its housing is only 30-mm wide so that it can be installed on a standard structural element completely and without any protrusion. The device operates over the temperature range of –40 up to 70°C. — Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG, Blomberg, Germany
