1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
This SP0005/SP0008/SP0016 high performance Fast Ethernet switch provides
five/eight/sixteen Fast Ethernet ports to segment network traffic, extend Fast
Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between different
transmission speeds. This Fast Ethernet Switch provides shielded RJ-45 ports
both with 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Auto-negotiation capability and MDI/
MDI-X auto crossover. All ports in this switch support Full-Duplex and Half-
Duplex operation modes. The Fast Ethernet Switch is typically used to seg-
ment network traffic that can improve the network performance by increas-
ing the total bandwidth as illustrated in Figure 1-1.
This Fast Ethernet Switch utilizes stored-and-forward switching architecture
that filters and forwards data after the complete data packet is received and
examined to be free of errors. With one set of status LEDs for each individ-
ual port, the switch operation status can be easily monitored. Their slim and
compact design allows direct placing on the desktop or conveniently
mounted on the wall or the side of a desk to accommodate cabling consider-
ation.
