Layer 3... you mean routers?

Automation direct has managed and unmanaged DIN mount ethernet switches.

e.g. https://www.automationdirect.com/ad...dustrial_ethernet_switches/unmanaged_switches

….and they can have it to you tomorrow if you call them now.

True story a month ago I was at a customer and had to order a part at 5pm, had it the next day at 10am. Solid!

You can buy Cisco gear worldwide, of course.

There's a heavy-duty Ethernet switch maker called N-Tron that is physically headquartered in Mobile, Alabama. They are a subsidiary of Red Lion Controls (in York, Pennsylvania) now.

I'm a huge automation direct fan, I've never had the chance to use any network gear from them though. Red lion seems to be a respected player in the industrial market. I use several of their unmanaged switches.

I have used N-tron a few time, good stuff. Rugged.

If I can get it and the price is reasonable (usually is) and if I can get a quote from my vendors in a reasonable time, I tend to go with N-Tron. Their 108TX is a great footprint for an 8-port switch and I've never had one fail. I needed something in a hurry and got a Stride from Automation Direct. It's been in service for a few months with no issues, but we'll see what happens in the summer...
