Central Wiring Closet

With up to 104 ports in a stack (i.e., 104 distinct segments), the TigerSwitch 100 can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.

In the figure below, the VF-45 ports on the TigerSwitch stack are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 96 end nodes. In addition, the switch is also connecting servers at 2 Gbps.
