Rugged managed 10-Port Gigabit Open Frame Switch with 2 SFP+ 10Gbit Ports

MPL announces an expansion of their Switch Family. The new product is a 10-port Open Frame Switch that includes two 10Gbit SFP+ ports and still conforms to MPL's high standards like; long-term availability, extended temperature and low power usage.

The new MAXBES Open Frame Switch integrates 8 ports with 1Gbit (optional up to 4 as SFP) and 2 ports with 10Gbit speed. The eight 1Gbit ports are with lockable headers and the two 10Gbit ports are SFP+. The Open Frame Switch is also available with RJ45 connectors. With an optional LED board, you can monitor the activity of each port. The MAXBES Switch is extremely compact and is mounted on a rugged aluminum plate. There are also open end cable available for a easy system integration or custom cables depending on your needs.
