Garrettcom has a 4 port hardened switch designed for factory floors and I believe they have larger ones. They retail between $83 and $112 for the 12v version.
Hit me offlist if you would like more information.

(Here, things get a little tricky, as Netgear uses the same model number on a couple different switches; I don't have any experience with the silver-plastic FS105 switches. They're probably the same, internally, but I've also never ripped one open to see.) Netgear FS105s and the big brother FS108s run about 3/4 of our towers, and have for several years. I can't recall a single instance of a problem with a switch that was found to be a defect in the switch itself. Lightning making a switch go foom, sure, but that's not the switch's fault. :) David Smith MVN.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ---- WISPA Wants You!
