Introduction
These switches are high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switches designed for
delivering Gigabit connectivity to the desktop. They provide 5/8 full-duplex
1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network performance and boost
throughput for high-bandwidth applications. With 10/16 Gigabits of aggregate
bandwidth, these switches provide the quickest solution to meeting the growing
demands on your network's limited resources.
Features and Benefits
• Auto-negotiation supported on all ports
• Automatic MDI/MDI-X operation
• IEEE Std 802.3-2002 compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based
hubs, switches and cards from any vendor
• Store-and-forward switching ensures error-free transmission
• Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being dropped under
heavy loading
• Plug-and-play nothing to configure
• “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status monitoring
• Desktop installation
Front Panel RJ-45 Ports
These switches feature 5/8 1000BASE-T ports with RJ-45 connectors located on the
rear panel of the switch. Because all ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or
to other switches or hubs.
