ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100

Features and Benefits

Connectivity

◆24 dual-speed ports for easy Fast Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment.

◆Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.

◆Independent RJ-45 10/100BASE-TX ports with auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.

◆Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10 Mbps connections and Category 5 or 5e for 100 Mbps connections.

◆IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, 802.3u Fast Ethernet, 802.3z and 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any vendor.

Expandability

◆Optional single-port 100BASE-FX modules that can run up to 2 km (using 62.5/125 or 50/125 micron, multimode fiber cable), or 20 km (using 9/125 micron single-mode fiber cable) and operate at 100 Mbps, full duplex, with auto-negotiation for flow control.

◆Optional single-port 1000BASE-T Gigabit module that can run up to 100 meters (using 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable), and operates at 1 Gbps, full duplex, with auto-negotiation for flow control.

◆Optional single-port 1000BASE-X GBIC module that supports a single-port 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH GBIC transceiver, and operates at 1 Gbps, full duplex, with auto-negotiation for flow control.
