Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switches, in particular to a protective structure for industrial switches. Background Art
[0002] Industrial switches are also called industrial Ethernet switches, which are Ethernet switch devices used in the field of industrial control. Due to the network standards adopted, they are open, widely used, low-priced, and use transparent and unified TCP or IP protocols.
