INTRODUCTION
The EZ Switch 10/100/1000, SMCGS5 and SMCGS8, are
high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switches designed for
delivering Gigabit connectivity to the desktop. It provides
5/8 full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly
improve network performance and boost throughput for
high-bandwidth applications. With 10/16 Gigabits of
aggregate bandwidth, this switch provides the quickest
solution to meeting the growing demands on your
network's limited resources.
