performance to exchange large data files and images
and access real-time information.
These reliable and dependable switches automatically
find the fastest connection speed; all that is needed is
to connect the power and Ethernet cables, as there is
no software to configure. Easy to set up, these switches
feature a fan-less design which delivers silent
operation, and are backed by an outstanding three-year
limited warranty. Advanced hardware replacement is
also provided.

With a choice of five, eight or sixteen ports you can
easily expand your network by addingmore computers
or devices with speeds up to 200 Mbps per port in full-
duplex mode. As part of our GreenConnect initiative,
this switch has been designed to have a very small
form-factor, reducing the environmental impact from
this product.
