Spacetronik-Netzwerk-Switches, also Switches zur Aufteilung des LAN-Netzwerks

What is an Ethernet switch?

A switch, also called a network switch, is a device used in computer networks to forward data between different devices, such as computers, printers, or IP cameras. It operates at the second layer of the OSI model (Data Link Layer) and analyzes the MAC addresses of devices in order to direct data packets to the appropriate ports.

Unlike concentrators (hubs), which send data to all connected devices, a switch sends data only to the target device, which increases network performance and provides greater data privacy.

If you need a fast connection between devices so that your online game runs smoothly, files download instantly, and streaming proceeds without interruptions, then a Spacetronik switch is exactly what you need.

Whether you are building a small home LAN network or connecting computers and devices in a large enterprise - switches are today basic elements of network infrastructure. They can be used in homes, offices, as well as in industrial or telecommunications environments. Their use makes it possible to create networks that provide fast and reliable communication between devices.

Although today we cannot even imagine a small home office workstation with the necessary accessories without switches, the basic models with 5 or 8 ports are still a small expense. The needs of a household or a small company can therefore be met thanks to a professional device at an affordable price.

What is the difference between industrial switches and standard ones?

A standard switch and an industrial switch differ mainly in their purpose and the conditions in which they can operate.

A standard network switch is intended for use at home or in small companies, for example in offices. It works in normal temperature conditions, that is, at room temperature, and is sufficient for handling computer networks in which data is delivered to several or a dozen devices located indoors and not exposed to external damage.

On the other hand, industrial switches are dedicated to applications in difficult environmental conditions. They are used wherever conditions are unfavorable for standard devices. Industrial switches are characterized by a specially reinforced metal housing that ensures resistance to extreme temperatures, dust, and weather conditions such as rain, snow, or wind. Additionally, they are less sensitive to shocks, falls, and vibrations. They can operate in a temperature range even from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius. There is also the option of mounting them on a DIN rail, which is useful in larger server rooms.

In summary, a standard switch is suitable for use at home or in small companies, while an industrial switch will prove useful in difficult environmental conditions, such as production halls, industrial facilities, or construction sites.

What does a PoE switch mean?

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that enables power to be transmitted through a LAN cable. Thanks to this, with one cable it is possible to simultaneously power devices and ensure information exchange in the network. PoE is particularly useful in monitoring systems for IP cameras, VoIP telephony, internet access points (Access Point), and POS terminals.

Switches supporting PoE are convenient to use because they eliminate the need to run a separate power and transmission cable for each device. In the traditional case, we would have to use two separate cables for each camera or other device. Thanks to PoE, we can use only one cable that simultaneously supplies electrical power and transmits data, which allows savings in work and finances when building a network.

It is worth mentioning that we also offer industrial PoE switches, which in addition to this technology offer increased durability and resistance to environmental conditions.
