The EZ Switch™ 10/100, SMC6405TX, is a 5-port Fast Ethernet
switch. Its 5 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports deliver dedicated 10/100
Mbps links to each attached LAN segment—all with conventional
cabling and adapters. Auto-negotiation is used to select the
optimal transmission speed and communication mode for each
connection. With store-and-forward switching and flow control,
maximum data integrity is always maintained, even under heavy
loading. This switch is completely plug and play, there is no
configuration necessary. Also, the switch comes with its own
versatile stand and can be mounted anywhere, so it’s ideal for
small workgroups.
