Introduction

   

The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet Switch, with all 

8  ports  capable  of  10  or  100Mbps  auto-negotiation  operation  (NWay), 

which means this switch could automatically negotiate with the connected 

partners  on  the  network  speed  and  duplex  mode.  It  is  ideal  for 

micro-segmenting  large  networks  into  smaller,  connected  subnets  for 

improved  performance,  enabling  the  bandwidth  demanding  multimedia 

and imaging applications. Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability 

provides  an  easy  way  to  migrate  10Mbps  to  100Mbps  network  with  no 

pain.   

This  switch  supports  PoE,  which  supplies  power  for  connected  devices 

via CAT 5 and above twisted cables. By integrating the data transmitting 

cable and  power  cord, it  eliminates  the  effort  constructing  your  network. 

You  could  easily  connect  a Wireless  AP  or  a  VoIP  phone  to  this  switch 

without  looking  outlets  for  them.  Over  current  protection  and  circuit 

shorting protection are also supported to ensure the safety.   

The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully 

compliant  with  all  kinds  of  network  protocols.  Moreover,  the  rich 

diagnostic  LEDs  on  the  front-panel  provide  the  operating  status  of 

individual port and whole system. 

Key Features 

 

Compliant with IEEE802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet which allows 
individual ports to enter a low power idle based on data flow usage.
