Wire-speed switching and Linksys reliability in a 16-port Gigabit switch
The 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed
switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this switch
in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your
high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while
continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your
network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user's
requirements. Either way, it's perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other
applications that have to move large files across the network quickly.
With the 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your existing
10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any additional
equipment. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't
have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically
negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode.
Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with
head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from bogging
down in lower-speed traffic. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged
packets from being passed on into the network.
World famous Linksys reliability and the limited lifetime warranty give you
peace of mind and the rackmount form factor integrates smoothly into your
network infrastructure. Let the Linksys 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch kick
your network into high gear.
