Unmanaged Ethernet switches reinvented hoenix Contact’s new generation of unmanaged Ethernet switches from the FL Switch 1000 series offer narrower housing, greater port density, and best-in-class automation protocol traffic prioritisation. The first five variants of the refreshed portfolio are exclusively copper ports, with fibre optic models soon to follow later this year. Both gigabit and fast Ethernet models will be included in the initial roll-out, enabling applications of different bandwidths in a variety of industries. With the help of a unique mounting accessory, the FL Switch 1000 series can also be mounted flat on the DIN rail, enabling use in small or flat cabinets with little space. Thanks to energy-efficient Ethernet, these switches will also feature a reduced power consumption, which will lessen heat and the overall footprint of the device. info@phoenixcontact.co.uk • www.phoenixcontact.co.uk

Eaton’s xModular delivers optimised data centre power infrastructure
E
aton has introduced its xModular system, the latest addition to its critical systems portfolio that brings integration and a digital dimension to the design, deployment, and operation of data centre type facilities. As well as optimising the power aspect (grey space), xModular can be configured to provide ample space for the IT compute equipment (white space) too. This space is designed in harmony with the electrical, cooling, controls and security requirements, providing an all-in-one system. A key element of xModular is the inclusion of Eaton EnergyAware UPS. This grid-interactive UPS means that the electrical system of an xModular data centre unit can act as a Distributed Energy Resource (DER) and provide essential services back to the grid operator thus accelerating and de-risking the adoption of renewables. Field services and aftercare ensure the whole life cycle is managed with the client. With over 2,000 service engineers and countless data centre projects delivered globally, clients can expect world-class technology backed by world-class support. www.eaton.com
