Industrial digital transformation drives extensive deployment of IoT and AI-enabled technologies, requiring high-bandwidth networks with low latency and higher data transfer speeds. To meet these escalating network infrastructure requirements, Moxa announced its new MRX Series Layer 3 rackmount Ethernet switches to accelerate data aggregation for industrial applications and help users build high-bandwidth network infrastructure to realize IT/OT convergence.

Layer 3 Rackmount Ethernet Switches

The rising number of connected devices, increasing adoption of data-intensive applications like video data transmission, and analytics for more intelligent applications to drive business innovation are boosting requirements for high-bandwidth networks. Video surveillance and AI-oriented applications with ultra-high definition (UHD) videos are examples of these demands

High-bandwidth Ethernet Switch

The new MRX-Q4064/G4064 Series rackmount Ethernet switches offer 16 and 8 10GbE ports, respectively, for aggregating large-scale data transmissions. In addition, port trunking features allow grouping of up to eight 10GbE ports into a single 80 Gbps link to maximize transmission bandwidth. system operation relies on stable operating temperatures and power supplies. To this end the new switch series features intelligent temperature control functions, 8 fan modules, and dual power supply modules, as well as Moxa’s Turbo Ring and High-availability Static Trunk (HAST) technologies for redundant network paths and connectivity to achieve high availability for large-scale network infrastructure.

The MRX-Q4064/G4064 Series was developed to simplify deployment and maintenance for engineers. The modular design of its Ethernet interfaces, power supplies, and fans increases deployment flexibility. The switches also have built-in LCD Modules (LCMs), allowing engineers to check device status and quickly troubleshoot. Hot-swappable modularity empowers module swaps without affecting operations.

Ethernet Switches Strengthen Network Resilience

While the new MRX-Q4064/G4064 Series Layer 3 switches bridge IT and OT networks, an interoperable, secure, and reliable Layer 2 switch is equally essential as a building block for converged industrial networks. Moxa’s EDS-4000/G4000 Series Layer 2 switches feature 2.5GbE uplink options for building high-bandwidth networks with the MRX-Q4064/G4064 Series Layer 3 switches, but also support a multitude of industrial protocols, network security features, and network redundancy technologies required to streamline multi-system integrations with secure and reliable connectivity.
