PS2208B
Compex’s PS2208B is a Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch 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, PS2208B supports
full auto-negotiation that self-configures for the highest possible operation
mode between two nodes. Unlike Hubs or Repeaters of which the 100Mbps
bandwidth is shared among the ports, PS2208B is designed with a backplane
of 1.6Gbps, allowing all 8 nodes to perform at full performance. Moreover,
PS2208B forwards the incoming packets only to the related ports, avoiding
collisions commonly seen in a Hub or Repeater.
