1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
The 16/24 Port Desktop & Rack-mountable Fast Ethernet Switch is designed to allow
simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via an internal high-speed data
channel. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or
routers in most environments .This
16/24 Port Desktop & Rack-mountable Fast Ethernet
Switch
is a highly reliable network switch and is the ideal device for bridging Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet work groups or networks .Simple and cost-effective, it supports
IEEE802.3 10Base-T Ethernet and IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet. Designed
specifically for connecting work group devices and desktops, companies no longer
have to invest in expensive and inflexible switches engineered primarily for backbone
implementations. Companies can deploy this scalable, affordable switch that
increases the aggregate bandwidth of the network by boosting throughput to the work
groups that need it most.
