_– Copied from customer email –_ We are looking for at least a 4500-psi rated switch. We are currently using the 3-port nano which works great for our current topside application, but we would like to explore this option in our subsea rated equipment. ---

_– Copied from customer email –_ We did some R&D with the nano, but the Crystal oscillator imploded at around 3000psi. ---

That makes sense, the 3-port nano uses a crystal oscillator which isn’t pressure tolerant. UbiSwitch uses pressure tolerant design so should be able to tolerate those kind of values. Are you able to switch to [UbiSwitch](https://botblox.io/ubiswitch-module-3-x-10gbase-t-8-1gbase-t-switch/)? It may be a bit overkill for your application. We can look at modifying the design of SwitchBlox Nano to be pressure tolerant.
