Industrial switches generate a certain amount of heat during operation, and poor heat dissipation can lead to an increase in internal temperature within the switch. Excessive temperature will not only affect the normal operation of the switch, but also may cause hardware failure, which will affect. By leveraging industrial-grade Ethernet switches that are designed and built to withstand extreme conditions, organizations can build redundant networks that will operate regardless of location. In the age of Ethernet everywhere, Ethernet switches have moved beyond the "friendly confines" of a climate-controlled wiring closet or data center, and are now being used outdoors in more remote locations to collect and monitor field equipment. Instead of using gas for heating, these neighboring buildings would rely on servers.
