Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

Features

The Switches were designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of user increase continuously.

The Switches with its rack size is specifically designed for middle to large workgroups. These Switches provide immediate access to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.

The Switches are ideal for deployment with multiple high- speed servers for shared bandwidth 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to the server.

The Switches are expandable by cascading two or more switches together. As all ports support 200Mbps, the Switches can be cascaded from any port and to any number of switches.

The Switches are a perfect choice for site planning to
