The EICP Series of Ethernet switches is designed for industrial applications. The EICP has the same form factor and plug-and-play functionality as its wide temperature cousin, the EISX, but is made affordable for industrial temperature applications. Only standard and straight-through cables are necessary to connect copper ports to NICs or another hub. Eight auto-MDI/X ports are available on the EICP9-100T for attaching local devices, or for use as an uplink port. The ninth port has a conventional MDI/X port and a MDI port that can be used as an uplink port to allow cascading to another hub without the need for a crossover cable.
