Despite the ongoing economic downturn continuing to put pressure on IT budgets, network equipment manufacturer Advantech has introduced a new range of Ethernet switches.
The company's Industrial Automation Group has unveiled two new wide-temperature devices which mark the expansion of its successful EKI Industrial Ethernet Switch range.
Advantech's EKI-7629CI and EKI-7656CI are capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -40 to 167 degrees F (-40 to 75 degrees C).
The EKI-7629CI is an unmanaged device and features eight 10/100Base-TX ports and two Gigabit ports with RJ45connectors.
Meanwhile, the EKI-7656CI has double the number of 10/100Base-TX ports.
According to Advantech, both "ruggedised switches have been designed to withstand extreme shock and vibration" and are ideal for "demanding environments".
Earlier this year Server Technology launched a new power distribution unit (PDU) which is capable of monitoring both temperature and humidity in server rooms – both of which have been linked to the amount of downtime firms suffer from.
