Ethernet Switches are used in wired copper and fibre networks to connect multiple devices using RJ45 ports or M12 connectors. While they are similar to hubs they are not the same. Ethernet Switches allow devices to communicate directly with one another, without getting in the way of any other devices on the network, allowing communication that is faster. Ethernet Switches can be customized to your network needs with pluggable modules. 

• Ethernet Switches allow multiple devices to connect together over a wired network
• Ethernet Switches allow control over who has access to various parts of the network
• Ethernet Switches keep traffic between two devices from interrupting any other devices on the same network
• Ethernet Switches can be customized to suit any network needs
