Introduction
The CheetahSwitch Workgroup-2027 switch is essential for
moving large workgroups from the conventional 10Mbps
shared Ethernet collision domain to multiple dedicated
Ethernet segments. This switch delivers dedicated 10Mbps
links to each attached LAN segment (independent collision
domain) or attached PCs all with conventional cabling and
adapters. It completely eliminates the bottlenecks of shared
10Mbps Ethernet networks by providing a wide bandwidth of
up to 460 Mbps. This makes it ideal for increasing the throughput of interconnected
Ethernet hubs or server farms. On top of all that, the AUI port and Fast Ethernet
expansion modules make it easy to connect to a conventional Ethernet backbone
or uplink to a Fast Ethernet network.
