The Gigabit Workgroup Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user's requirements.

Apply this switching power to your current hub-based Ethernet network, and your data traffic efficiency will improve several times over. Connect your Gigabit-equipped workstations to the Switch's 10/100/1000 ports for full-duplex, dedicated bandwidth of up to 2000Mbps! It's perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly.

Features:

• Automated performance optimization
• Advanced error correction
• Speeds up to 1000 Mbps for Gigabit-enabled devices - up to 10 times faster than standard Ethernet.  Perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly.
• Eight auto-sensing ports designed to automatically deliver optimal Ethernet or Gigabit speeds for each connected device and eliminate the need for MDI/MDI-X crossover cables.
• Flow Control Blocking Prevention technology designed to help keep lower-speed traffic from bogging down high-speed transmissions.
• Address Learning and Aging and Data Flow Control designed to help ensure better data flow and fewer transmission errors.
• Replace your current hub-based Ethernet network with the switching power of this compact unit and improve your data traffic efficiency.
