This section describes the features of the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch's
components and guides you how to install it on the desktop. Basic knowledge of
networking is assumed. Please read this chapter completely before continuing.
Product Description
The GE Security GE-DSGH-5 and the GE-DSGH-8 are 5/8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps
Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switches with non-blocking wire-speed performance with
a new slim type with IP 30 metal shape for easy deployment in Heavy Industrial
demanding environments.
With a 10/16Gbps internal switching fabric, the Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch can
handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone
or high capacity servers.
The Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 8K MAC Address table and offers wire-
speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The Gigabit ports
with 9K jumbo packet support can handle large amounts of data transmission in a
secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The high data
throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal
speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. Support standard for Auto-
MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without
requiring special straight or crossover cables.
The Flow Control function allows Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch supported routers
and Servers to directly connect to this device for fast, reliable data transfer.
