• Plug and Play for Easy Installation: Designed to be simple to install with no complex configurations. Simply connect the devices, and the switch automatically configures itself for optimal performance.
• Store and Forward Switching Mode: The switch uses store and forward switching, which ensures that it only forwards complete and error-free packets, improving network efficiency and minimizing the risk of data loss.
• Supports 4K MAC Addresses: Support up to 4,000 MAC addresses, allowing it to handle large networks with multiple devices connected.
• Transparent to VLAN Packets: The switch operates transparently with VLAN packets, making it compatible with VLAN-based networks for better traffic segmentation and security.
• Rack-Mountable: Designed to be rack-mounted, saving valuable space in network equipment cabinets and offering flexibility for network setup in both small and large installations.

High Performance

Provides powerful 10/100 Mbps switching performance with a 100FX fiber backbone for high-speed, long-distance connectivity. Its auto-sensing 10/100 ports detect and automatically adjust the speed and duplex mode to the capabilities of connected devices. The switches enable non-blocking wirespeed filtering and forwarding of data, ensuring efficient transmission across the network without congestion. With a throughput of up to 148,000 pps for 100Mbps Ethernet and 14,800 pps for 10Mbps Ethernet, this switch handles heavy traffic without degradation in performance. It is equipped with advanced technology to provide reliable, high-speed connectivity for various network environments, including Ethernet and Fast Ethernet setups.

Flexibility

It offers substantial flexibility in network design. The additional fiber optic interface port allows for fiber-to-copper connectivity, enabling connections up to 2 kilometers away from other network components, ideal for long-distance networking or extending the network across large campuses or buildings.

Simplified Installation

Designed to be simple and easy to install. The auto-sensing ports eliminate the need for manual configuration, allowing you to quickly connect existing 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices. The switch is a plug-and-play solution, requiring minimal setup, reducing downtime and streamlining deployment in various environments. Front panel LEDs provide instant feedback on system status and network activity, making it easy to monitor and troubleshoot network issues.

Status Indicators

Equipped with LED status indicators that provide clear visual feedback on the system’s operation and connectivity:

• System Global LED (Power): Green ON indicates power is up.
• Per Port LED (Link/Activity): Green ON indicates a link is established, and flashing indicates network activity.
• 100Mbps LED: Green ON indicates 100 Mbps mode is active.
• FDX LED: Green ON indicates full-duplex operation.

Performance

Delivers non-blocking wirespeed performance with IEEE 802.3x flow control for smooth and efficient data transmission. It also offers full auto-negotiation on all 10/100 ports. This ensures seamless communication between devices, regardless of their speed or duplex mode.

• 10Mbps Ethernet: Up to 14,800 pps
• 100Mbps Fast Ethernet: Up to 148,000 pps
• MAC Address Support: Supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses for larger networks.
• Packet Buffer: 256K for storing data packets to prevent loss.

Interface Connections

• 10/100TX (Ethernet): RJ-45 ports for copper connections.
  100FX (Fiber): SC connector for fiber optic connections.
