Industrial switch faults can generally be divided into two categories: hardware faults and software faults. Hardware failure mainly refers to the failure of the switch power supply, backplane, modules, ports and other components. The following I will first introduce you to the problem of port failure.
This is the most common hardware failure, whether it is a fiber optic port or a twisted pair RJ-45 port, you must be careful when plugging and unplugging connectors. If you accidentally dirty the fibre optic plug, it may lead to contamination of the fibre optic port and failure to communicate properly. We often see that many people like to plug and unplug connectors with power, which is theoretically possible, but this also inadvertently increases the incidence of port failure. Careless handling can also lead to physical damage to the port. If you purchase a crystal head that is oversized, it can also easily damage the port when inserted into an industrial switch. In addition, if a section of the twisted pair cable connected to the port is exposed outdoors, in the unlikely event that this cable is struck by lightning, it could cause damage to the connected industrial switch port or cause more unpredictable damage.
