Intel Express 100BASE- TX Stackable Hub

By integrating the switching hub into the network that populates both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps workstations, both groups experience the benefits of high-speed networking, even if they are not operating at the faster data transmission speed—both groups receive dedicated bandwidth (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) that allows for quicker access to the servers and router connected to the switch.
