Ethernet architecture to support future
expansion
Ethernet Direct Corporation offers the reliable Industrial Ethernet devices that can build a cost effective Industrial Ethernet architecture that will support future expansion
The growth of Ethernet devices on the plant floor will mean greater amounts of communication consuming available bandwidth Data from the plant floor will feed up to SCADA and Enterprise systems, while Application Servers will provide distributed information down to coordinate automation systems

Why purchase equipment that you could out-grow in just a few years? Build your systems with rugged reliable Gigabit Ethernet Switches that will provide years of reliable operation and able to handle your network loading in the future.
When it comes to control room applications, Ethernet Direct offers managed workgroup switches which have 24 ports of 10/100/1000TX with 4 SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) that will allow you to mix both Single-Mode or Multi-Mode fibre.
These switches are intended for the control room environment but can be used in production areas in the pharmaceutical and electronics plants.
In addition, Ethernet Direct offers a Mixed Media Full Gigabit switch that is truly open.
The HMG-448G combines 4 Gigabit TX and 4 Gigabit SFPs into a cost effective unit.
The HMG-448G is Industrial Switch that is intended to be located on the plant floor to interconnect 8 Gigabit connections to provide true high speed communications.
Developed to interconnect several Gigabit up-link ports of the distributed switches, the HMG-448G reduces wiring and allows for the required infrastructure for real-time applications.
When connecting up to 16 Industrial devices which may communicate to SCADA or Enterprise systems, network engineers will require the Up-Link ports to be at least 10 times faster than the individual connections.
The HMG-1628 provides connections of 16 10/100TX connections to be linked to 2 Gigabit connections that support either TX or SFP connections.
The Global Ethernet Direct team is not only committed to providing the best functionality, reliability, and quality.
We believe that our customers understand the importance of a quality design that supports future expansion with no hassles.
