10/100Mbps Switches for Workgroups

10/100Mbps Unmanaged Switches
Key Features
These unmanaged 10/100Mbps switches are designed to enhance workgroup performance while providing a high level of  
flexibility.  Powerful yet easy to use, these devices allow users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network 
to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.
     
Two choices of switches are available: one with 16 
10/100Mbps ports, the other with 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.
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.
An open slot is provided on the front panel to let you 
install an optional Fast Ethernet fiber module.  This
module provides 2 100Mbps fiber ports for 2 server 
connections or switch-to-switch cascading over the 
reliable fiber cables, which can be up to 2km long.

Flow Control Protects Against Data Loss
Easy Expansion
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 minimizes 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.
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 cross-over, 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.
