Product Description ------------------- This newly-redesigned Linksys 5-Port 10/100 Switch can significantly increase your network traffics speed. A switch serves the same function as a hub in a network design -- tying your network equipment together. But unlike a simple-minded hub which divides the networks 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 is 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 dont 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. From the Manufacturer --------------------- An Easy Way to Build Out Your Network. Harness the full power of your network over multiple devices, all from the comfort of your desk. Formerly Linksys Business Series, now Cisco Small Business Unmanaged Switches, the SD205 Desktop Switch allows the connection of up to five separate devices into your network. Unlike a network hub, this switch doesn't split your connection, allowing each device to access maximum speeds. The switch auto-negotiates the connection details and you only have to plug in the cable. Integrated features like advanced store-and-forward packet sw and auto partitioning help ensure that the quality of the data passing through the switch is consistent and optimized. The SD205 supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections in either half- or full-duplex mode. Using the latter, each port can achieve a maximum speed of 200 Mbps. -------- Overview -------- A network solution that works right out of the box, Cisco Small Business Unmanaged Switches are designed with your business's price and performance considerations in mind.
