Don't miss our final Christmas Cracker 🎁 ❄️ 🎄 Unwrap the gift of plug&play connectivity this December With so many types of unmanaged ethernet switches on the market, you might think it doesn't matter which option you standardise on. But there is a reason why so many of our customers never look back after switching to the FL1000 Series from our partners at Phoenix Contact. Here's why ... ✅ Radically Slim Design Control cabinet downsizing is an industrial trend that's here to stay. Components have had to adapt but ... These unmanaged switches take space-saving to the extreme, especially the 5 & 8 port variants that have slimmed down to width of 22.5mm Its unique mounting bracket is also pretty nifty when your control panels are lacking depth. Comfortably mount these switches FLAT on the DIN rail, giving your more options when it comes component layout in your panels. And you are free to choose the outlet direction of the connections. ✅ Data Traffic Prioritisation Something that you don't see every day with unmanaged switches is enhanced data traffic prioritisation for automation protocols. And that's exactly what you get with the FL SWITCH 1000 Series. They automatically prioritise data traffic from Profinet and Ethernet-IP protocols so that you rely on more stable networks, even in cases of high network load. Best of all ... these unmanaged switches are now a fraction of the cost 🙌 Pick up yours today & beat the January price increase 🔽 https://lnkd.in/eHgBad7H
