Switch 224T

PCs and peripherals

Switch 224T is designed to be used as a desktop switch to which end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected. Although, since it has the same large 8000 address table and high performance as the Switch 208T, it also can be used as a segment switch. Or, you could, of course, connect a combination of end nodes and hubs to the Switch 224T ports.
