Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Unmanaged Switches provide 16 or 24 10/100/1000
Mbps ports. They’re easy to install and provide high performance in an
environment where trafffic on the network and the number of users increases
continuously. The switches support the highest speed even when operating in
full-duplex mode.
The switches also provide automatic crossover detection on each port. It’s simple
and friendly to uplink to another switch without a crossover cable.
Use the switches for medium to large workgroups. It’s easy to upgrade network
capacity, and you can mount the switches in a 19" rack or cabinet.
