Industrial environments present much harsher conditions than those found in typical office environments. They have extreme temperatures, humidity and corrosive materials that can ruin IT equipment. They also contain motors, mechanical switches and other devices that can produce large amounts of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Black Box has a large range of solutions designed to perform in the toughest environments:

  • Hardened network products ensure network performance and minimize downtime
  • Environmental monitoring systems keep you informed of conditions in your industrial workspace
  • KVM technology optimizes operator workflows and declutters your workspace
