These multi-port 10/ 100 Ethernet switches can significantly speed up the flow of information within your network. A switch serves the same function as a hub in a network design— tying your network equipment together— but unlike a simple-minded hub which divides the network' s bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch delivers full network speeds at each port. These switches can be used to connect multiple PC' s to your 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network, and they are perfect for linking all of your other network devices too.
Available in a 5-port, 8-port, or 16-port design, these ultra-compact switches are wall-mountable to easily fit into your workgroup environment. All ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/ MDI-X crossover detection, so you don' t have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently negotiates for best speed, and can support half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Also, all ports provide fast store-and-forward switching to prevent damaged packets ( corrupted information) from being passed on into the network.
