Pepperl+Fuchs has introduced the RocketLinx managed Ethernet switches. Featuring a rugged metal housing, these switches offer a range of performance, management and security features including VLANs, Quality of Service, redundant ring topologies and event notifications. In addition to standard copper connections, the managed switches also offer optical fibre SFP ports.

With Gigabit speed on all ports, the RocketLinx managed switches enable efficient data transfer over long distances or when immunity to electromagnetic interference is required.

Conventional Ethernet switches usually have copper connections that transfer data up to 100 m with no loss in performance. However, these types of connections are susceptible to electromagnetic radiation, making them unusable for certain applications. SFP fibre connectors provide compatibility with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. These fibre connectors are not affected by electromagnetic radiation and enable efficient data transfer at Faster Ethernet or Gigabit speeds across distances of up to 120 km.
