April 4, 2014 - Moxa introduced EDS-G500E Series of industrial Ethernet switches. Designed to simplify upgrading an existing large-scale network to Gigabit speed, or building a new full Gigabit backbone, the switches are equipped with 8, 12, or 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to 4 fiber optic ports. The highly-scalable switches will appeal to IT professionals who want total network reliability, an easy-to-use interface, and the ability to quickly transfer bandwidth-heavy triple-play services in extreme industrial environments, according to Moxa. The EDS-G500E series is designed to give industrial operators peace of mind with robust engineering that withstands harsh conditions and prevents unplanned system downtime. In addition to Level 4 EMS protection to repel electromagnetic interference, severe shock/vibration resistance, and a new thermal fin design that can reduce switch temperatures (5°C or more), the EDS-G500E series is available with Class 1, Div. 2/ATEX Zone 2 ratings for safe use in petrochemical facilities, processing plants and other classified areas. EDS-G500 features redundant Ethernet Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, and MSTP to increase system reliability and the availability of the network backbone. The switch series has many user-centric features to significantly improve network manageability. For example, auto configuration/backup/restore is fast and easy with the ABC-02 USB dongle and Moxa's MXcongif utility that allows up to 100 switches to be configured in 12 minutes or less. Command-Line Interface gives the client a more concise and powerful means of control during configuration of major managed functions.
