The SL-6RS and the SLX-6RS are 6 port industrial Ethernet switches featuring Sixnet’s Real-Time-Ring™ which provides very fast, fault-tolerant network redundancy and prioritized message delivery needed in critical real-time systems. These Rings self-configure and just run, without the complex configuration steps required by alternative solutions. This advanced technology delivers reliability and performance, saves you money, and makes your job easier.
