Features and Benefits

Connectivity

24 10/100BASE-TX ports plus four Gigabit combination ports 
(RJ-45/SFP).

Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the 
optimum speed (10 or 100 Mbps), and the communication mode (half 
or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device; 
otherwise the port can be configured manually.

Independent RJ-45 10/100BASE-TX ports with auto MDI/MDI-X 
pinout selection.

Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3, 4, or 
5 for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections, and 
Category 5, 5e or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections.

IEEE 802.3-2005 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet 
compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network 
cards and switches from any vendor.

Expandability

Four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (shared with 
1000BASE-T ports).

Supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-ZX and other 
SFP-compatible transceivers.

Performance

Transparent bridging

Switching table with a total of 8K MAC address entries

Provides store-and-forward switching
