Switch Architecture
The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
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 includes two slots on the front panel for slide-in 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-FX, or 1000BASE-X (GBIC) modules. Cascade connections between switches can be made using these modules.
