Linksys SD205 - Small Business Unmanaged Switch User manual

5-Port 10/100 Switch
This newly redesigned Linksys 5-Port 10/100 Switch
can significantly increase your network traffic’s
speed. A switch serves the same function as a hub in
a network design—tying your network equipment togeth-
er. But unlike a simple-minded hub which divides the net-
work’s bandwidth among all the attached devices, a
switch delivers full network speeds at each port. Installing
this cost-effective 5-Port 10/100 Switch can potentially
increase your network speed by five times!
It’s the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and
100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All five ports are auto
speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X
crossover detection, so you don’t have to worry about the
cable type. Each port independently negotiates for best
speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200Mbps of
bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching pre-
vents damaged packets from being passed on into the net-
work.
The new ultra-compact case design is sure to fit into your
workgroup environment. Let the Linksys 5-Port 10/100
Switch kick your 10/100 network into high gear.
