The Gigabit Switch provides you with a high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use,
seamless and standard upgrade to boost your old network to 1000Mbps. Increase the
speed of your network server and backbone connections, making Gigabit a reality.
Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment can
now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or
multimedia files and other applications that have to move large files across the network
almost instantly.
The Gigabit Switch features a non-blocking switching architecture that forwards and
filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput, MAC address auto-learning
and auto-aging, IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode and backpressure for
half-duplex mode. It is compatible with all 10, 100 and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices
because it is standard-based. It protects your existing network investments while
providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.
The Gigabit Switch is plug-and-play and no configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X
cable detection on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cable or Uplink port. Each
port can be used as general port or Uplink port, and any port can be simply plugged
into a server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable or crossover cable.
Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allow you to quickly detect and
correct problems on the network.
