The ML3000 Ethernet Switch with RSTP-2004 fault recovery fulfills the redundancy
requirements for reliable industrial networks with fast reconfiguration time (typically 20 to
40 milliseconds) for cable breaks or similar network faults when set up in a ring topology.
The Gigabit ports option boosts the bandwidth for high speed to support high traffic loads
and minimize congestion.
