Features and Benefits
Connectivity
◆ 24/48 dual-speed ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for
protection of your investment in a legacy LAN equipment.
◆ Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the
optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is
supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured
manually.
◆ Independent RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with auto
MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
◆ Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or
better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps
connections, and Category 5 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.
◆ IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, 802.3u Fast Ethernet, 802.3z and 802.3ab
Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with
standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any vendor.
Expandability
Supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-ZX, and
1000BASE-T SFP transceivers.
Performance
◆ Transparent bridging
◆ Switching table with a total of 16K MAC address entries
◆ Provides store-and-forward switching
◆ Supports wire-speed switching
◆ Supports flow control, using back pressure for half duplex and IEEE
802.3x for full duplex
