The EZ Switch™ 10/100, SMC6405TX, is a 5-port Fast Ethernet switch. Its 5 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports deliver dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to each attached LAN segment—all with conventional cabling and adapters. Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed and communication mode for each connection. With store-and-forward switching and flow control, maximum data integrity is always maintained, even under heavy loading. This switch is completely plug and play, there is no configuration necessary. Also, the switch comes with its own versatile stand and can be mounted anywhere, so it’s ideal for small workgroups.
