10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch

Compact, auto-negotiating two-port 10/100 Mbps switch

The Digi 5220 Family of two-port 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet switches have either two unshielded twisted pair (UTP) ports or one UTP and one fiber optic port. These switches provide an easy, cost- effective method for migrating to Fast Ethernet while preserving the Ethernet LAN.

The 5220 Family functions as a bridge, storing the address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet in a routing table capable of storing 4000 MAC addresses.

These converters use adaptive cut- through switching based on a unique algorithm. This switching procedure

dynamically changes data handling methods based on the current error rate.

The 5220 Family starts with standard cut- through switching for a clean data environment, changes to fragment-free cut-through for a moderate error rate environment, and progresses to store-and-forward for a highly contentious environment. Adaptive cut-through switching delivers the best network performance in any environment.

The 5220 effectively separates collision domains and is an excellent front-end to repeaters

and hubs. International versions of the 5220 Family are also available.
