Industrial Managed Ethernet switches now available

Cumming, GA --- December 14, 2011 ... AutomationDirect's line of Stride™ Ethernet products now includes industrial-grade managed Ethernet switches, designed with redundant power inputs with surge and spike protection and auto-crossover.

Gigabit managed switches are also available, with 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 ports and advanced combination SFP ports that accept noise-immune fiber optic links.
