This newly-redesigned Linksys 5-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 5-Port 10/100 Switch can potentially increase your network speed
by five times!
It's the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
devices, too. All five 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 5-Port 10/100 Switch kick your 10/100 network into
high gear.
