Combo Gigabit & Layer 3 Ethernet Switches
Fast, seamless, and resilient connectivity

Simplified configuration, maintenance & deployment.
Ethernet provides fast, seamless, and resilient machine to-machine connectivity to provide you with critical information; your people can now focus on using that information. Ethernet switches designed for plant process areas must work in harsh environments subject to temperature extremes, humidity, and vibration. By replacing proprietary networks with an Ethernet LAN and GE’s PACSystems Ethernet switches, industrial companies can improve network reliability and simplify deployment.
GE’s industrial-grade Managed Ethernet Switches, with redundant ring technology, reliably support the largest amounts of real-time data in the market. Managed switches protect your mission-critical applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with Fast Network Recovery technology. GE’s PACSystems Ethernet switches offer one of the fastest recovery times in the industry.
PACSystems Ethernet switches are uniquely designed with redundant power inputs, the broadest operating temperature range available, and Fast Network Recovery technology to enable outstanding reliability and stability in harsh environments. This superior, rugged design makes the PACSystems Ethernet Switch ideal for Pipeline, Transportation, Well2Tank, Water/ Waste Water, and other demanding applications.
The PACSystems Ethernet Switch includes a unique and comprehensive Network Management Tool, combined with three functions of Commander, Host View and Topology View. With the network management software, the network administrator can manage centralized configuration, visualize management, and complete network monitoring with an early warning system, helping to maintain a stable and reliable industrial network.

GE's complete family of Industrial Ethernet Switches features:
- Extended temperature range. Designed to perform in harsh environments
- Compact design. Reduced panel size and installation cost
- Redundant power inputs. Help to ensure system uptime
- Fast network recovery technology. Rapid (<10ms) recovery rate protects mission critical data from network malfunctions
- Compatibility & Connectivity. Compatible with third-party Ethernet switches
- Web-based network configuration tool. Simplify the network configuration, maintenance, and deployment
