According to statistics, 70% of industrial network failures stem from switch performance degradation. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), as a core indicator for measuring equipment reliability, has become a key basis for enterprise selection decisions. However, frequent network disconnections may occur at times, which not only affects production efficiency but may also cause inconvenience. High temperature fluctuations, mechanical vibration, airborne contaminants, and electromagnetic. Ethernet switches in industrial environments face challenges that office-grade network equipment never encounters: extreme temperatures, vibration, electrical noise, dust, and humidity. This article will combine industry practices. Network downtime refers to the period when a system or network is unavailable.
