The EKI-7659C is the first in a family of new managed Industrial Ethernet switches.
This compact and industrially hardened switch offers advanced traffic control for optimum network performance and security, along with rapid self-healing fiber optic ring capabilities to ensure network uptime in adverse environments. The 10-port EKI-7659C features eight Fast Ethernet (100Base-TX) and two gigabit (1000Base-T) ports, which support both copper (RJ-45) connections and optional industry-standard Small-Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules. About the size of an “AA” battery, SFPs are available in single-mode and multi-mode fiber models, for fiber connections ranging from 1,800 feet to nearly 70 miles.
