Building secure data networks
Powerful and reliable data networks are an important component of industrial digitalization. Ethernet switches ensure the fast and continuous transport of data.

Gigabit Ethernet is becoming increasingly important in mechanical engineering. The scalable infrastructure enables a step-by-step approach in which the backbone is first implemented on Gigabit.

With the KGC-261-DP, KTI has introduced an industrial media converter that supports High PoE++. This enables it to supply connected devices with power via the Ethernet copper cable, which were previously not suitable for this due to their power consumption of up to 90 W.

Belden has launched a complete solution for the configuration and use of TSN in Industrial Ethernet networks. This solution from Hirschmann combines the TSN firmware versions of the Industrial Ethernet switches with the Industrial HiVision 8.0 network management software.

Siemens is expanding its Ruggedcom portfolio with a 19" rack Ethernet switch with Power-over-Ethernet support. Up to 24 Power-over-Ethernet ports make it possible to reduce the number of network devices.

At SPS IPC Drives 2017 in Nuremberg, Lapp presented its own switches for Ethernet networks under the name Etherline@ Access.
