Introducing the Switch 408
The ProCurve Switch 408 is a multiport switch that can be used to
build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch
is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed
networking.
Throughout this manual, the name of this switch will be abbreviated
as the Switch 408.
The Switch 408 has eight auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports.
With this switch you can build a switched network infrastructure by
connecting it to hubs, other switches, or routers; or you can connect
directly to computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated
bandwidth to those devices.

Network Ports
The switch has eight auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports with RJ-45
connectors. All of the ports have the HP Auto- MDIX feature, which
means that either a straight-through or cross-over cable can be used
for any connection to another device, and the switch automatically
adjusts the pin assignments to complete the connection.
