Collapsed Backbone Link

Traditionally, bridges and routers have been used to link local area networks into one interconnected network. But these devices involve difficult management and long traffic delays.

The MIL-S1000 providers multiport bridges with short delays, easy setup and maintenance, making it ideal for backbone links. Also, the Built-in filtering on this hub deceases network traffic, while the multiple ports that communicate simultaneously increases network performance.

One or more of your hub's 100Mbps or 1000Mbps ports can be used as a high-speed backbone link to other hubs serving as collapsed backbones.
