real-time-ring™ ethernet switch with 5 ports

PRODUCT DATASHEET
ET-5RS
REAL-TIME-RING™ ETHERNET SWITCH WITH 5 PORTS
The ET-5RS is a 5 port industrial Ethernet switch
featuring Sixnet’s Real-Time-Ring™ which provides
very fast, fault-tolerant network redundancy and
prioritized message delivery needed in critical
real-time systems. These Rings self-configure and
just run, without the complex configuration steps
required by alternative solutions. This advanced
technology delivers reliability and performance,
saves you money, and makes your job easier.
