Ooh, good point about the port density. I hadn't considered that angle. Maybe it's a combination of B and D - industrial Ethernet switches need to be tough and have lots of connectivity options.

You know, I was actually leaning towards D - higher port density. Industrial applications often require a lot of Ethernet connections, so those switches need to pack in more ports. But the ruggedization factor is probably more important overall.

I agree, B is the way to go. Industrial environments can be really tough on equipment, so these switches need to be built to handle all sorts of abuse. Enterprise switches just don't have that level of hardening.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the answer has to be B - industrial ruggedization. Enterprise switches are designed for office environments, but industrial Ethernet switches need to be able to withstand things like extreme temperatures, vibrations, and even exposure to chemicals or moisture.
