Introduction
An Introduction to Industrial
Ethernet Switches
What Are Ethernet Switches?
Ethernet Switches are used all over the world. They are primary linchpins for sending and
receiving information on telecom, enterprise, and office networks. They send and receive
data from devices such as PCs, Servers, Wi-Fi Access Points, Surveillance Cameras, and
other Ethernet Switches. Usually, they are deployed in buildings or climate-controlled
spaces. They use copper or fibre-optic cabling as their transmission medium.
What Are D-Link Industrial Ethernet Switches?
D-Link Industrial Ethernet Switches have primarily the same necessary technological
capabilities as standard Ethernet switches, but they’re built to higher standards in terms
of connection reliability (enabled a backup power supply) and redundancy (through our
Rapid-Recovery Ring architecture) than standard Ethernet switches, while also being
ruggedised for deployment in harsher environments, such as those often encountered
around industrial facilities, or in situations that are not climate controlled, such as outdoor
cabinets.
Introduction
What Makes Them Special?
Toughness
D-Link Industrial Ethernet Switches are built
to tolerate harsher conditions than most
standard switches in terms of temperature,
dust, lightning strike, vibration, corrosion,
electromagnetic interference, and even
impact (so it can withstand a fall from a
potential failed mounting).
Convenience
The abovementioned tolerances mean that
special climate-controlled spaces don’t need
to be built or in-place to house these
ToughnessConvenience
Reliability
Redundancy
Reliability/Redundancy
Ethernet networking enables a higher degree
of redundancy than older proprietary
Industrial standards allow. Standard Ethernet
switches employ Ethernet Ring Protection
Switching (ERPS) architecture for redundant
failover, which can re-route network
transmission in the event of a failure in 50
milliseconds. This is adequate in most
standard cases because the most demanding
applications that most enterprise and
telecom networks are likely to carry is live
video streaming, where 50ms is the human
switches. They can be installed in areas that
industrial facilities are likely to already have,
such as electrical closets, and mounted onto
common local architectural elements, such
as wall railings. And what’s more, with
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capabilities
enabled on specific models, these switches
can be used to power other devices such
as cameras, VoIP phones, and Wi-Fi Access
Points, facilitating their deployment in areas
where they might lack access to a standard
wall socket.
perception threshold for noticing a “hiccup”
on a live transmission.

However, there are a growing number of
devices and equipment, and in re-arranging
applications that an Ethernet switch might
be asked to carry, either now or in the
near future, that would demand faster
failover – precision manufacturing, train
routing, drone/robotic control, augmented
reality, and any other application where lagtime might be problematic or dangerous.
And D-Link’s Rapid-Recovery Ring
architecture can reduce this latency by 60%
while increasing the redundancy potential
by more than tenfold.
What Else Can They Do?
Standard industrial communication has
historically used proprietary analogue
standards and equipment, which are often
connected topology of what you already
have. Industrial Ethernet also enables you
to unify the network you are using for your
factory-floor with the standard Ethernet
network that you’re already for Wi-Fi
coverage and other office functions, making
for a single infrastructure that is inherently
easier to maintain and repair moving forward,
while also better enabling the integration of
the data you are collecting from your Internet
of Things (IoT) devices on the factory floor
with the analytics capabilities you have in
your office.
quite slow by modern standards, and don’t
scale very well. Industrial Ethernet gives you
more flexibility in terms of adding new

Questions You Might Have
Is it Future-Proof?
Ethernet is the world’s dominant
networking technology, and this is not
likely to change for the foreseeable
future. And what’s more, most current
Industrial Ethernet applications are not
bandwidth-intensive and use only a
fraction of what Ethernet technology is
capable of, and this is also not likely to
change. In other words, an Industrial
Ethernet switch bought today will still
likely be in use tomorrow, and perhaps
even in use in 20 years.
desire. There is a no better or easier option
for securing your industrial network
available today than Ethernet.
What about Wi-Fi for IoT?
The proliferation of IoT sensors has given
the old 802.11n Wi-Fi standard new life,
thanks to its meagre equipment costs and
low power consumption. It’s a tried and
tested technology well-suited for lowbitrate data transmission that isn’t timesensitive, which is common in IoT scenarios.
If a higher bitrate IoT connection is needed,
the new Wi-Fi 6 standard (802.11ax) is now
Is it Secure?
With all the news about prominent data
breaches, one might be tempted to think
of Ethernet as an insecure technology.
But the fact is that many legacy industrial
communications systems and standards
have already been compromised (many
were created before cyber crime was a
concern), and it is inherently easier to
secure a system from the ground up
than it is retroactively. Industrial Ethernet
systems can also be encrypted, and
isolated from the rest of your
infrastructure, and can have additional
layers of security added if you so
available. It was designed with IoT in mind
and can handle a much higher density of
connected IoT devices than previous
generations, while also providing stronger
security and backwards-compatibility with
older Wi-Fi standards.
And if you’re seeking wireless robotic
control, Private 4G/LTE is the way to go. It
features the kind of ultra-low latency,
reduced interference, and enhanced
security you want in a robotics application
while laying the groundwork for potential
Push-to-Talk (PTT) unification (using
consumer-grade smartphones) down
the road.
