With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the switch can
collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 1000BASE-T ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps
connectivity for up to 28 segments. In addition, the switch is also connecting
several servers at 1000 Mbps.
