Baseline Switch 2016/2024 is a versatile, easy-to-use
unmanaged switch. It is ideal for users who want the high-speed
performance of 10/100 switching but do not need sophisticated
management capabilities. The Baseline 10/100 Switch is shipped
ready for use. No configuration is necessary.
The Switch has 16 or 24 shielded RJ-45, 10/100 Mbps
auto-negotiating ports on the front panel. Each port automatically
determines the speed and duplex mode of the connected
equipment and provides a suitable switched connection. Each port
also supports automatic MDI/MDI-X detection.
The Switch is suited for office use where it can be free standing,
or rack mounted (in a wiring closet or equipment room).
The Switch comes with:
One power cord for use with the Switch
Four self-adhesive rubber pads
One mounting kit
The Switch is powered from the AC mains supply.
The Switch provides high performance switched connections to
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps hubs, servers and workstations that
require a dedicated switched link.
