2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Switch provides (16) or (24) 10-/100-/1000-Mbps RJ-45 ports and can support (4) Combo SFP ports for uplink. The switch is easy to install and provides high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increases continuously. The switch uses the latest Gigabit chipsets providing it with the best performance and features available; this enables the switch to support full-duplex Gigabit speed on every port without any issues.

The switch also provides MDI/MDI-X automatic crossover detection on every port, so it connects to another switch without crossover cable.

The 19" rackmount size makes the switch a perfect fit for medium to large work- groups. It fits easily into your existing 19" racks and only uses 1 rack unit (RU) of space. Because the switch is unmanaged, it’s easy to install. Just install the switch in your rack or cabinet and you are ready to connect up to 16 more devices to your network.
