2. Introduction to 9 Port NWay Switching Hub
2.1 General Description
This device is a powerful, high-performance Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Switch with
two fiber uplink ports. Twisted pair ports are capable of 10 or 100Mbps auto-negotiation
operation (N-Way). 100Mbps according to the 100Base-FX standard are supported on
the fiber interface. The SWH-2109F is an ideal solution for micro-segmenting large
networks into smaller sub-networks for overall improved performance, so enabling the
most demanding bandwidth multimedia and imaging applications. Moreover, the
10/100Mbps auto-sensing capability provides an easy way in which to move from a
10Mbps to a 100Mbps network.
Compared with shared 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, this N-Way switch delivers a
dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion
problems. Store-and-forward switching modes guarantee low latency and fast data
transmission. Full-duplex mode allows the simultaneous transmission and reception of
frames without the risk of collisions as well as a doubling of the network bandwidth.
For network connection:
The switching hub can use the following types of cabling:
10BASE-T Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP
100BASE-TX Category 5 UTP/STP
Fiber Optic:
50/125, 62.5/125, or 100/140
µ
m multimode
8.3/125, 8.7/125, 9/125 or 10/125
µ
m single mode
Category 5 cable is preferred to be used with this product in structured wiring
environments. This will ensure correct operation of all ports at 10Mbps or
100Mbps.
2.2 Key Features
The SWH-2109F switching hub provides the following key features:
2K MAC address table, 1M Bit buffer memory
8 RJ-45 (STP) ports for 10/100Base-T/TX and two 100Base-FX ports
(TP port 8 can alternate FX Port 1)
Redundant operation for fiber port Complies with IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u
