Products

GarrettCom's product line of industrial Ethernet LAN products includes more than 500 standard product models divided among 10Mb, 100Mb, and gigabit Ethernet switches, hubs, media converters, repeaters, concentrators, and transceivers. GarrettCom products offer unrivalled flexibility allowing for cost effective industrial networking solutions and applications, chassis sizes ranging from departmental units capable of controlling up to 40 ports to compact "personal" units that can fit in the tightest of spaces. Standard LAN management software is also incorporated in many models.

GarrettCom has introduced two Industrial Ethernet switches, each available at three different levels of 'toughness' covering applications ranging from the office environment through industrial installations to the great outdoors. This is believed to be the first time that low-cost switches have been offered meeting such a wide range of applications environments.

GarrettCom has also recently launched the new S-Ring redundancy management software for the industrial Ethernet product line. S-Ring technology allows fast recovery in ring topologies while working in concert with standard spanning tree protocol (STP) algorithms for fast, reliable and predictable fault recovery.

High reliability markets are served through GarrettCom, emphasising fibre solutions with high reliability and performance orientated features. GarrettCom offers dual source -48VDC power, NEBS and ETSI certification, and 21" ETSI and 23" ANSI rack mount options. 24VDC and 125VDC power, DIN-rail mounting, built in fibre for shielding against electrical noise, long distance connections, and extended temperature ranges are features GarrettCom provide for the tough environments encountered in industrial automation and control applications.

As part of GarrettCom’s commitment to becoming the supplier of choice for Ethernet products, we would like to keep you informed on the impending EU Directives on RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical& Electronic Equipment). These directives will significantly impact the Global electronics industry as component manufacturers and end equipment makers are obliged to change their processes to comply with the legislation. We understand that these directives will also affect many of you and your businesses to some degree or another.
