High performance switching

The ToughSwitch 2 is designed to minimize collisions and network loading. It automatically determines and remembers where an Ethernet device is located and routes messages only through the appropriate port. The ToughSwitch 2 also buffers messages and transmits them in a rapid-fire sequence using a real-time switching technique called "store and forward".

Rugged, MIL-STD design

ToughSwitch 2 Ethernet switches eliminate the problems with installing industrial grade devices in extremely harsh environments. Their rugged packaging and protected circuitry keep them working under the most extreme conditions that may cause industrial grade switches to fail. The ToughSwitch 2 exceeds MIL-STD requirements and strict environmental standards for shock, vibration and temperature.
