Switches are the central components of a network. They prevent data collision, allow rapid packet switching and enhance data throughput.
Not only do Weidmüller switches meet the demands placed on the Fast Ethernet with its transmission rate of up to 100 Mbit/s, but they are also downward compatible with the older networks that have a transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s (IEEE 802.3). They recognize the speed automatically.
