2.2Product Description - Magnum 500-Series Switching Hubs

The Magnum 500-Series Switching Hubs provide 8-port switching services to enhance the performance of 10Mb Ethernet networks by segmenting the network traffic. They may be used with existing Cat 3 cabling and shared 10b Ethernet hubs. On models 528 and 528F, there are two Fast Ethernet switched ports additionally that provide 100Mb switching services for high speed network connections. Full speed is maintained across all ports, even when handling the smallest 64-byte frames.

All 10Mb ports in both units can auto-negotiate to either half- or full-duplex mode. The copper Fast Ethernet ports on Model 528 & 528F are normally set for 100Mb with manual selection of F/H duplex, but may be optionally set for auto-negotiation.
