installed base. Compatibility with 10Mbps Ethernet ensures that users will be able to migrate to Fast Ethernet at a pace appropriate to their installation and needs.

10/100 Switching Technology

An integral extension of Fast Ethernet, 10/100 switching provides not only a 100Mbps high-speed connection for carrying aggregated 10Mbps traffic, it also handles the necessary conversion of MAC between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Combining Fast Ethernet and switching technologies provides both bandwidth for local workgroups and a high- speed link to carry local traffic elsewhere in the network.

Product Features

The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch has the following key features:
