Link industrial equipment with multiple computers to expand your data network. Use these switches with ix industrial connectors and cords. Ethernet switches connect computers, sensors, and other devices to the same network so they can talk to each other, access the Internet, and provide you with real-time diagnostics. These switches do not require setup—just plug in a device and it will be connected to your network. They are backward compatible, so they'll work in networks below their rated transmission speed. For example, a 100 Mbps switch will work in a 10 Mbps network, but it will only run at 10 Mbps.

Add ix Industrial connections to printed circuit boards (PCBs). These connectors have a small profile—use them on smaller equipment or to create multiple connection points in a small space. They have metal locking tabs, which are less likely to break off than plastic ones. All are shielded to block interference from nearby devices. These connectors meet Canadian electrical standards and UL data transmission standards. They’re compatible with ix Industrial plugs that meet IEC 61076-3-124.

Choose A-coded connectors as an alternative to RJ45 and M12 Ethernet connectors.

Choose B-coded connectors for signaling applications such as linking a servomotor and encoder. They’re also an alternative to D-sub connectors.
