The device is a powerful, high-performance Fast Ethernet switch, with all ports capable of 10 or
100Mbps auto-negotiation operation (N ay), which means the switch could automatically
negotiate with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for micro-
segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved performance, enabling
the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications. Compared to the shared 10Mbps
or 100Mbps networks, the switch delivers a dedicated 10/100Mbps connection to every attached
client with no bandwidth congestion issue. This switch also supports auto MDI / MDI-X function.
Each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub with no crossover RJ-45 cable.
Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors,
including runt and CRC error packets. To work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception
of the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network
bandwidth.
The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel can provide the operating
status of individual port and whole system.
Before you start to install the switch, check the following contents in this package：

Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45
port of the switch, and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on
the switch and then system is ready.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to connect another switch with straight
or crossover cable. As all the ports support auto MDI / MDI-X function, using a straight cable to
make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
For cable selection, refer to the following table：
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10Mbps Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100Mbps Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
