ThankProductyou for choosing the Lancast CenturySwitchOverview.

Designed to meet the needs of today’s growing networks, the Lancast 8-Port CenturySwitch is a compact, low-cost switch featuring a unique replaceable port module. The standard unit provides eight auto-negotiating 10/100 TX ports including one modular port with two connectors to support either a crossover or parallel connection.

The TX interface may be replaced by an optional 100Base-FX module. METRO- bility offers FX modules with SC, ST and MT-RJ multimode connectors in addition to SC singlemode connectors which support network segments up to 15 or 40km. For added versatility, all FX modules include two user-selectable controls to configure the port’s duplex mode and to set the backpressure/flow control.

By breaking up the collision domain and multiplying network performance, the Lancast CenturySwitch delivers the ideal solution for easing network congestion problems on existing shared-hub networks. Use the CenturySwitch to increase overall network transmission speed and to improve efficiency to accommodate high-bandwidth applications such as imaging, multimedia and CAD/CAM.

The CenturySwitch includes an universal internal power supply and is perfect for stand-alone or rackmount use in any office environment.
