1. Introduction
Gigabit Ethernet over copper technology is a proven cost-effective way for network equipment to be upgraded from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit speeds. The need of expensive fiber optic cabling for Gigabit speeds is eliminated by using standard 4-pair Category 5e copper cabling. This technology creates high-speed backbone connections between switches, servers, databases, and workstations.
Unicom's 5 and 8 Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Switches are an ideal solution for solving traffic congestion at the core of the network. They offer Auto-Negotiation 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports that can significantly improve your network backbone performance. They will also fit into any enterprise level network to act as an exit to the backbone switch.
The 5 and 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switches feature an Auto MDI/MDIX function for each port as well as store-and-forward switching and can auto- learn and store source addresses on a 4K MAC address table.
