Duxbury Networking, a leading South African networking solutions distributor, says its Gigabit Managed Industrial Switch range provides local companies with an ideal networking solution for harsh industrial environments.

The six-port DUX104GPS-2F-IS and 10-port DUX108GPS-2F-IS feature similar functions to a standard switch. However, they are built to withstand the extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference commonly found in industrial settings. Both switches come with a limited lifetime warranty and are available at a competitive price point.

“These powerful switches are targeted at applications that must deliver on the high-performance requirements of industrial organisations,” says Tobie van Schalkwyk, Business Unit Manager at Duxbury Networking. “Additionally, both switches provide the industrial environment with a platform to install Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices, such as IP phones, cameras, and access points.”

To this end, the DUX104GPS-2F-IS switch provides up to 96W of PoE power while the DUX108GPS-2F-IS delivers 150W. Both switches are designed to work in operating temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius. The switches also feature comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to deliver additional software features across VLAN, QoS, and PoE.

The switches are built with ruggedised enclosures and support all industrial protocols. They have built-in security measures to mitigate against the risk of compromise on network traffic.
