August 4, 2008 – Ethernet Direct Corporation, a professional and primary provider of industrial networking and communication solutions, is pleased to offer Industrial Ethernet Switches with conformal coating technology that meets MIL-I-46058C standard. In mission critical and harsh environments like where most Industrial hardened Ethernet switches are deployed, conformal coating acts as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes that if non-protected could result in a complete failure of the electronic system. These applications include mining, metal industries, oil & gas, military applications, chemical processing and food and beverage industries.

For additional protection to address the demands of the environmental conditions, Ethernet Direct offers state-of-the art conformal coating on Industrial Ethernet switches. Conformal coatings encapsulate circuit boards and their electronic components in order to prevent the ingress of moisture, fungus, dust and other environmental contaminants. After the coating is made on the switches, it provides environmental and mechanical protection to significantly extend the life of the components and circuitry to meet the challenges in severe industrial environments.

Ethernet Direct has proven applications in various industries and is focused on providing the highest quality product standards especially catering important industries providing reliability, value, environment impact and safety to their applications.

Conformal coated Industrial Ethernet switches will include the designation "C" in the last position of the product model number.
