This
unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch is designed to enhance workgroup
performance while providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet
easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any port to either
a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time
and satisfy heavy load demands.
24 10/100Mbps Ports These ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, as well as full- and half-duplex.
Auto-adjustment of MDI/MDIX Cross Over All
10/100Mbps ports auto-adjust MDI/MDIX twisted-pair cable cross-over,
eliminating the need for cross-over cables or uplink buttons. You
simply plug any port to a server, a workstation or a hub, using the
usual straight-through twisted-pair cable. The port will auto-sense the
attached device type and adjust the Tx, Rx pin assignments accordingly
before transmitting and receiving data.
Optional 100Mbps Fibre Ports - DES-102F An
open slot is provided on the front panel to allow installation of an
optional Fast Ethernet fibre module. This module provides 2
100Mbps-fibre ports for 2 server connections or switch-to-switch
cascading over fibre cables, which can be up to 2km long.
Flow Control Protects Against Data Loss Using
flow control (in full duplex and applicable to all 10/100Mbps ports),
the switch monitors the buffer status of each port. During peak usage,
if the buffer fills to capacity, the switch detects this and signals to
the attached node to delay sending new data until the switch can accept
it.
This operation minimises the chance of any buffer overrun
where incoming data overwrites the current data that has not been
completely flushed out of the buffer. This function works with flow
control supported Fast Ethernet adapters (installed in servers)
connected to the switch in dedicated bandwidth configuration. It can
also be applied to switch-to-switch cascading.
Easy Expansion Cascading
2 switches together to expand the network using the twisted-pair ports
is easy. As all 10/100Mbps ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX
twisted-pair cable crossover, you simply connect 2 switches together
without having to find a cross-over cable or to make sure the ports are
uplink ports. At 200Mbps full-duplex speed, all ports provide a fast
switch-to-switch dedicated bandwidth. Related Products :
