For our last question in this series, we are asking Michael Mowrey, Business Develoment Manager - Ethernet, "How can switches help simplify wiring and reduce assembly time?"

Switches are a requirement to add flexibility to Ethernet based systems, but no one said they necessarily need to be mounted inside enclosures. IP67 rated switches, like Murrelektronik’s Tree67, are a great option to save space inside enclosures, reduce costs with wiring, and improve commissioning and troubleshooting time. These switches, that can be mounted up to 100m away from the main cabinet, help optimize cable routing without compromising network flexibility. Combined with a vast range of Murrelektronik’s M8, D- or X-code Industrial Ethernet cables, IP67 switches are the perfect solution to make any Ethernet network Plug-n-Play.Switches are a requirement to add flexibility to Ethernet based systems, but no one said they necessarily need to be mounted inside enclosures.
