ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 100

Key Features and Benefits

Connectivity

•Slide-in, replaceable 4-port modules for added flexibility (Model SMC6608M only)

•100BASE-FX ports with SC or ST connectors (Model SMC6608M only)

•Auto-Negotiation on 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports automatically selects optimum communication mode (half or full duplex and 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) if this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise port can be configured manually

•IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 802.3u Fast Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, cards and switches from any vendor

•Independent RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports with built-in wiring crossovers for straight-through cable connections

•10BASE-T/100BASE-TX daisy-chain port(s) for network device connections with straight-through cable

•Half- or full-duplex operation on each port

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

•One RS-232 serial console port for local or remote out- of-band management

Performance

•Aggregate bandwidth of 1.6 Gbps
