Two Media Access Control Security (MACSec) industrial managed switches allow users to implement network encryption in their building or on their plant floor. The 852-1322 switch comes with eight RJ45 1-GB ports. Six of the ports are not encrypted for local communication, with two of the ports being MACSec-encrypted for communication throughout the building or plant floor. The 852-1328 switch also comes with six RJ45 1-GB ports that are not encrypted but has two SPF ports for fiberoptic MACSec encrypted communication. Both devices provide point-to-point network security that protects against numerous threats. They also are hardware-based, so the encryption will not slow down the network.
