EtherFast ® Managed 24-Port with Dual Gigabit Switch
5
The EtherFast ® Managed 24-Port with Dual Gigabit Switch is equipped with
twenty-four 10/100 RJ-45 ports. These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of
either 10-100Mbps in half-duplex mode, or 20-200Mbps in full-duplex mode.
Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed
of the device connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust its speed and
duplex accordingly.
To connect a device to a port, you will need to use a network cable. If you are
using 100BaseTX devices you will need to use UTP Category 5 (or better)
cable. The two Gigabit ports require UTP Category 5e cable (or better).
The EtherFast ® Managed 24-Port with Dual Gigabit Switch is equipped with
two Gigabit ports. These ports provide links to high-speed network segments
or individual workstations at speeds of up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
The two Gigabit ports require UTP Category 5e cable (or better).
The EtherFast ® Managed 24-Port with Dual Gigabit Switch is equipped with
a serial port (located on the rear of the switch) that allows you to connect to a
computer (for configuration purposes) using the provided serial cable.
