Reliable, Efficient Industrial Network Connectivity

Machines and all kinds of equipment are increasingly intelligent and require more and faster network connectivity. As a result, industrial networks globally are increasingly upgrading to standards-based Ethernet as the infrastructure backbone for mission-critical automation and control applications. However, industrial communications and control networks are subject to much harsher environments and must operate reliably and consistently under extreme conditions including:

• Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• High operating temperatures, both indoor and outdoor ambient
• Machine vibration
• Mechanical hazards
• Power/voltage fluctuations

At Microsemi, we understand the rugged conditions in which industrial networks must function, delivering deterministic and reliable performance at low power. Our robust industrial Ethernet networking solutions are engineered to help reduce your customers’ overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and modernize their networks, generating a higher return on investment (ROI) on industrial network infrastructures designed for real-time visibility, flexibility and agility.
