CHAPTER 2 ABOUT THE SWITCH

Overview

This switch is an ideal solution for delivering Internet access to individual users in multi-dwelling or multi-tenant units (MDUs/ MTUs), such as apartment housing blocks, commercial buildings or hotels. This switch provides rate-limitable connections to individual users with secure port-to-port isolation between users

–all with conventional Ethernet cabling and adapters. At an MDU/MTU site, up to 24 other switches can be cascaded from one switch, providing broadband Internet access for up to 24 individual users on each switch.
