The Matrox Piranha Switch 8 is an 8 port 10BaseT Ethernet switch. The Piranha
Switch is a full segment switch, yet is affordable enough to be used instead of a
repeater hub. Devices connected to the Piranha Switch can communicate with
each other at full wire speed, achieving aggregate throughput 800% faster than
devices connected to the ports of a repeater hub.

devices connected to the ports of a repeater hub.
Each of the 8 ports on the Piranha Switch can be configured for half or full-duplex
operation, allowing you to double the connection speed for devices that are able
to operate in full-duplex mode. Each port can be connected to a server,
workstation, another switch, or to a repeater hub connected to multiple Ethernet
devices. The Piranha Switch is capable of supporting up to 8192 MAC addresses.

Operation
Many Ethernet devices, including newer Network Interface Cards (NICs) and
most switches, are capable of full-duplex operation. If possible, you should
configure a device and Piranha Switch port to which it connects for full-duplex
operation. Repeater hubs and older NICs are only capable of half-duplex
operation.
