5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch RC-409LX User Manual
Chapter 1 Introduction of the Product
Thank you for choosing the RC-409LX 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch.
 Overview of the Product
Powered by the Gigabit Ethernet Technology, the RC-409LX 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch provides
the seamless network connection, which can speed up your old network to 1000Mbps. The increased
speed and backbone connections make Gigabit a reality, which ensures the graphics, CGI, CAD, or
multimedia files and other applications with bandwidth-intensive files transferred across the network
almost instantly.
The non-blocking switching architecture adopted in the RC-409LX greatly improves network
response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between subnets by forwarding and
filtering packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput.
The RC-409LX switch is compatible with all 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices,
which can protect your existing network investments while provide you a straightforward migration
path to faster Gigabit speed.
The RC-409LX switch is very easy to manage since it is plug-and-play and no configuration is
needed. In addition, the auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports eliminates the demand of
crossover cable or Uplink port. Each port can be used as general ports or Uplink ports, and any port
can be simply plugged into a server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable or crossover
cable. Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and
correct problems on the network.
The RC-409LX switch adopts Green Ethernet technology, supports power saving features to help
make your network environmentally friendly without compromising performance. The switch
automatically powers down ports that have no link, budgets power output for different Ethernet cable
lengths.
