Knitter-Switch also regularly introduces new components into its lineup thanks to the diligence of its highly skilled engineers. In 2020, it introduced a new range of SMD local area network (LAN) transformers. The line provides customers with a wide range of 1Gbit/s, 2.5Gbit/s, and 10Gbit/s assortments. Similarly, the series is available in various compact form factors from 4.60mm x 3.40mm x 2.90mm to 5.28mm x 3.45mm x 3.40mm. Knitter-Switch also made the line robust enough to stay functional in environments ranging from -40°C to 125°C. The firm’s LAN transformers are ideal for use in computers and Internet of Things (IoT) networks because of those attributes. Knitter-Switch’s remarkable product variety and keen attention to detail will ensure its success for decades to come.
