GarrettCom Marks 100,000th Shipment of its Flagship 6K Managed Indusrial Switch

GarrettCom has shipped its 100,000th 6K Managed Switch to Schneider Electric.

The landmark switch, a 6KL Managed Edge Switch, was shipped as part of an order including a variety of 6K switch models and DX Industrial Routers for deployment into various naval facilities. The 6K line of managed Ethernet switches are designed for demanding industrial Ethernet applications on the factory floor, in power plants and substations, transportation and industrial security and surveillance. The 6K line is designed to operate reliably in environments that require additional hardening for operation under extreme temperatures, dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, and other hostile conditions. The 6K family features fiber-rich, modular switches that can be configured with a variety of AC or DC power options and a wide selection of port options for the highest level of installation flexibility. The 6K switches can be mounted on a rack or DIN-Rail, and come with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software (release 4.1.9 and release 14.1.9 SECURE).

Steve Bowles, Southeast Regional Manager for GarrettCom, presented a plaque displaying the 100,000th 6K Switch to Mitch Morgan, Program Manager—Government Business, at Schneider Electric.
