The HFS24T 24-Port 10/100Mbps Rack Mount N-Way Switch is designed for easy
installation and high performance. The switch provides you with a flexible, reliable,
and affordable solution for your Ethernet network, and includes 24 independent
10Base-T/100Base-TX ports. The HFS24T enables the segmentation of large
networks into smaller, connected subnets, thus allowing you to experience improved
performance for demanding applications. Each port delivers up to 200Mbps
throughput, and is able to operate in either half or full-duplex modes.
The 24-Port 10/100Mbps Rack Mount N-Way Switch features an N-Way auto-
negotiation (or auto-sense) function (refer to the chapter titled, “N-way Process”),
which automatically adjusts the device for optimum operation. “Store-and-Forward”
architecture filters eliminate error packets and improve efficiency. The HFS24T also
utilizes auto-MDI/MDIX technology, which enables you to use either standard
Ethernet cables or crossover Ethernet cables to connect with other devices. Moreover,
the built-in Universal Power Supply allows you to easily install the switch without an
external power adapter.
The HFS24T is also ideal for use with multiple, high-speed servers to share bandwidth
within 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With maximum throughput of 200Mbps,
any port can be used to provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server. In addition, the switch can be expanded by
cascading two or more switches together. The switch can be cascaded from any port
and to any number of switches.
The Plug and Play HFS24T is powerful and reliable, and can run your high-end video,
graphic, multimedia, database, and mission-critical applications with ease.
