Network switches are low-cost, simple devices that multiply Ethernet ports, beneficial for multiple devices needing wired connections. Many devices perform better when connected via Ethernet ...

And that's where network switches are essential. These units effectively act as an ethernet hub, letting you connect a full suite of devices, including PCs, printers, and gaming consoles ...

there are plenty of reasons that you might want a network switch (or two), as many home devices work better when they're ...

In the home or office, the Ethernet switch functions as a central station connecting computers, printers and every other wired device to each other. The switch is also wired to the router and ...

With his home network a mess, Tom Fenton explores how to bring some sense of order using readily available, easy-to-use, free ...

A switch merely helps Ethernet devices exchange packets between each other on the same level – it’s typically nowhere near as smart as a router gets. Oftentimes, a home router will contain a ...

Network switches come in two different flavors: managed, where you have some interface to configure and monitor the equipment, and unmanaged where the device just does what it is supposed to do ...

Additionally, Ethernet may not be the primary technology focus of a device company. This blog explores critical considerations and solutions for implementing Ethernet switches tailored to industrial ...

Arrcus today announced TGAX - a new Telco Grade Network Switch targeting telecom service providers globally, empowering ...

The switches themselves can be operated in zone 2, while their 100 Mbit/s optical ports connect field devices, such as the Ethernet-enabled IS1+ remote I/O system in zone 1. With the Scalance XC-200 ...

The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ...
