As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switches can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.

The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to upgrade to Fast Ethernet in the future. Ethernet workgroups can connect to the Switches now, and change adapters and hubs anytime later without needing to change the Switches or reconfigure the network.

The Switches combine dynamic memory allocation with store- and-forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each port, while controlling the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes to guarantee against all possible packet loss.

The Switches are unmanaged 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch that offers solutions in accelerating small Ethernet workgroup bandwidth.

Other key features:

Auto MDI/MDIX for each port for Uplink to another switch, hub or repeater.

Store and forward switching scheme capability. As the result of complete frame checking and error frame filtering, this scheme prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.

N-Way Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) thereby providing you with automatic and flexible solutions in your network connections.

Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals while the port’s receiving buffer is full. Note that flow control is only available in half-duplex mode.

Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 100Mbps speed. Data forwarding rate per port is at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed.

Data filtering eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for 100Mbps speed.

Data filtering eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at wire-speed for 10Mbps speed.

Up to 1K active MAC address entry table with self-learning and table-aging for the Switch.
