You have several installation options. The Switch’s compact size fits onto your desktop, or use the wall mount slots to hang it somewhere out of the way. If your network equipment is in a rack, install it using the included rack mount brackets.

No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 16- or 24-Port 10/100 Switch has speed, flexibility, and reliability that you can count on.
