Features and Benefits

Connectivity

24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in 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.

RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-Tports support 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, 5e, 6 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.

IEEE 802.3-2002 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any vendor.
