This
newly-redesigned Linksys 8-Port 10/100 Switch can
significantly increase your network traffic's speed. A
switch serves the same function as a hub in a network
design -- tying your network equipment together. But
unlike a simple-minded hub which divides the network's
bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch
delivers full network speeds at each port. Installing
this cost-effective 8-Port 10/100 Switch can
potentially increase your network speed by eight times!
It's the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and
100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All eight ports are
auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X
crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about
the cable type. Each port independently negotiates for
best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to
200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward
switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on
into the network.
The new ultra-compact case design is sure to fit into
your workgroup environment. Let the Linksys 8-Port
10/100 Switch kick your 10/100 network into high gear.
