The 9266-SW 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch allows the interconnection of CSL 9200 series Ethernet networking modules via its 5x ports, it also enables an Ethernet network to span a greater distance when used in conjunction with 9265-FO fibre optic media converters. This is down to the low latency ‘store and forward’ mechanism integral to the switch that only passes on ‘good’ packets and ensures that the stringent timing associated with Ethernet is maintained. With the 9266-SW switch, each connection is effectively a ‘point-to-point’ network segment unlike the older generation hubs which were simple ‘dumb’ repeaters.
The module is designed and certified to meet the ATEX Directive (94/9/EC) and be located in an hazardous area. It may remain energised when an explosive atmosphere is present thereby extending its use to environmental monitoring situations.
