Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality Belkin 16- or

24-Port Gigabit Switch. Backward-compatible with 10/100 networks, each Switch easily integrates into a new or existing network for instant high performance. It delivers dedicated 100Mbps links to each directly attached LAN segment or PC, enabling your servers and workstations to transfer large AV and graphic files efficiently throughout your network. This makes the Switch an excellent way to increase the throughput of interconnected Ethernet and Fast Ethernet hubs or server farms.

Engineered for compact convenience, each Switch features a durable metal chassis that can be placed on the desktop or integrated

into a 19-inch rack, using the included rack-mount kit. All ports auto-negotiate between a 10-, 100-, or 1000Mbps network and adjust for straight-through or crossover cables, so you don’t have to worry about cable type.
