The Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 6-Port provides high 
performance switched connections to 10 Mbps, 100 
Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs, switches, servers and 
workstations that need a dedicated switched link. The 
following figure illustrates one possible configuration.

The Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 6-Port has 6 shielded 
RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating ports on the 
front panel. Each 10/100/1000 Mbps port automatically 
determines the speed, duplex mode, and MDIX mode of 
the connected equipment and provides a suitable 
switched connection. Note that 1000BASE-T connections 
operate in full duplex mode only.

All Switch ports support flow control, which is a 
mechanism that prevents packet loss during periods of 
congestion on the network. Packet loss is caused by one 
or more devices sending traffic to an already overloaded 
port on the Switch. Flow control prevents packet loss by
