Features and Benefits

Connectivity

# 24 dual-speed ports for easy Fast Ethernet integration and for

protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment

# Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select

the optimum communication mode (half- or full-duplex and 10 or
100 Mbps) if this feature is supported by the attached device;
otherwise, the port can be configured manually

# Independent RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports with built-in

wiring crossovers for straight-through cable connections

# Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3

or better for 10 Mbps connections and Category 5 or better for
100 Mbps connections

# IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 802.3u Fast Ethernet compliance ensures

compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and
switches from any vendor

Performance
