speed requirements. The users operate at 100Mb as well as at 10 Mb, and utility devices (such as print servers) run at 10 Mbps. High performance users need a high bandwidth up- link for access to a central LAN and central file servers. Any attached node can change speed at any time without affecting network operation or impacting other users. The multi- functional S14 Convenient switches provide this solution very efficiently and economically. Various features included MDIX, plug-n-play, Din-Rail mountings and dual LEDs make this compact and convenient switch a very effective solution for this requirement.

Example 2. S14Hs: In this application of Industrial environments, where in a expanding of Industrial network environment, the new PLC units are deployed on all the present network and need a Ethernet port to carry the data to the main workstation for being controlled by the Industrial Engineering crews. The hardened version of Magnum S14Hs are typically used where 10/100BASE-T networking equipment is being installed in highly controlled temp environment and required a effective and economical solution to satisfy
