Segment Bridge

For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,

this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate

backbone.

In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print server, and local

server attached, are both connect to the switch. All the devices in this network

can communicate with each other through the Switch. Connecting servers to

the Switch allow other users to access the data on server.

In the below illustration, two 8 Gigabit Copper with one MINI GBIC Smart

switch are used to interconnect two small workgroups. By using fiber ports to

connect switches, the distance between two switches via fiber cable can be up

to 2Km or 30Km (SC single-mode fiber connector).
