The EZ Switch 10/100 SMC-EZ1024FDT and SMC-EZ1016FDT are
24/16-port Fast Ethernet switches. They have one slot on the rear
panel for a fiber optic uplink module with one 100BASE-FX (SC,
ST, MTRJ or VF-45) type port. The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports
deliver dedicated 10/100 Mbps links to each attached LAN
segment. Each port on each switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X
detection. This means that you can use either straight-through or
crossover cables to connect to any other network device.
Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed
and communication mode for each connection. With
store-and-forward switching and flow control, maximum data
integrity is always maintained, even under heavy loading. Easy
installation and reliability make these plug-and-play switches an
ideal choice for smooth Fast Ethernet integration.
