Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and Ethernet ready routers. Use standard Ethernet cable to connect the Switch to end nodes. Switch ports will automatically adjust to the hardware characteristics (MDI-II/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of the device to which it is connected.
