ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100/1000

Features and Benefits

Connectivity

◆24/48 dual-speed ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in a legacy LAN equipment.

◆Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.

◆Independent RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.

◆Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.

◆IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, 802.3u Fast Ethernet, 802.3z and 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any vendor.

Expandability

Supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-ZX, and 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers.

Performance

◆Transparent bridging

◆Switching table with a total of 16K MAC address entries

◆Provides store-and-forward switching

◆Supports wire-speed switching

◆Supports flow control, using back pressure for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex
