This improved Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch is very ideal for small and home 
office networks. It comes with 8 10/100Mbps ports capable of full or half 
duplex transmission with flow control. In addition, the switch supports full 
auto-negotiation and self-configures for the highest possible operation mode 
between two nodes. Unlike Hubs or Repeaters for which the 100Mbps 
bandwidth is shared among the ports, the switch is designed with a backplane 
of 1.6Gbps, allowing all 8 nodes to operate at full performance. Moreover, it 
forwards the incoming packets only to the related ports, avoiding collisions 
commonly seen in a Hub or Repeater. This switch has an earth connection 
point used for suppression of lightning surges to protect itself.
