Expert-Backed Solutions: Your OEM Switch FAQ – Clear Answers for Seamless Industrial & Enterprise Deployment
Q1: How do you minimize crosstalk in high-density 48-port 1G switch PCBs?
• 3W rule + via shielding for differential pairs (critical for >100MHz signals).
• Stripline layer stackup (not microstrip) to reduce NEXT by 30-40% vs. standard designs.
Q2: How do your industrial switches handle -40°C cold starts?
Component-level hardening:
• Industrial-grade PHYs (Marvell 88E1512, -40°C to 85°C).
• Optional PCB heating circuits (pre-heats to -20°C in <10s).
• Field data: 5,000+ units deployed in Siberian oil fields (MTBF >150k hours).
Q3: Can you support last-minute order surges (e.g., +2,000 units in 4 weeks)?
Yes, via:
• Pre-audited secondary suppliers** for critical ICs (Broadcom/Marvell).
• Buffer stock of PCBs and mechanical parts (for 8-48 port 1G/10G models).
• Case study: Delivered 1,200 industrial switches in 14 days for a German smart grid project.
Q4: Can we reuse CE/FCC certifications if modifying your reference design?
• Partial recertification possible for:
• Minor changes(e.g., swapping PHYs with similar EMI profiles).
• Cost-saving path: 30% faster via our pre-approved test plans.
