Introducing the Switch
Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a
supported ProCurve mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) for
fiber-optic connection. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled.
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, the 2520G-PoE switches offer full network management
capabilities.
Using ProCurve mini-GBICs, these products support optional network
connectivity with the following speeds and technologies:
