Service voor the MACH3000 familie van Hirschmann™ stopt.

Zie onderstaand nieuwsbericht:

Dear Sir or Madam,

Belden® develops innovative products using state-of-the-art technology, so you can be sure that our solutions will comply with the latest market requirements and standards. To ensure that this is always the case, our products are replaced by new ones after a certain period of time has elapsed.

In 2008, we announced that we would be discontinuing marketing of our Backbone Switches in Hirschmann’s MACH3000 family. This letter is to inform you that, as of March 31, 2014, service for these devices will also be discontinued. We will therefore only be able to carry out repairs and updates for the next six months. You will find a list of the order numbers for the affected devices at the end of this letter.

A new generation of backbone switches – the MACH4000 family – is now available from Hirschmann™. In keeping with the philosophy we outlined at the start of this letter, this family of switches boasts additional features such as switching and routing with 10 Gigabit per second, thus opening up new possibilities for high-performance data communication in industrial environments.

Detailed information about the MACH4000 family is available on our website at www.hirschmann.com. If you have any questions about these backbone switches, please contact your customer service representative. You can also contact this representative with any queries about service for the discontinued models.
