Ports
The product comes with twisted-pair ports. These ports can be used to
connect to individual stations in need of faster access, to segment heavily
utilized LANs, and/or to provide higher bandwidth access to a key server in a
client-server environment.
10Mbps Ports
The 10Mbps twisted-pair ports are standard RJ-45 connectors for use with
unshielded or shielded twisted-pair (UTP/STP) wiring. The 10Mbps ports
operate at an user-selectable speed of 10Mbps for half-duplex mode or
20Mbps for full-duplex mode. In either mode, the twisted-pair ports can
operate over 100 meters of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP or STP cable.
Possible uses for the 10Mbps switch ports:
•
Segment an existing LAN to improve bandwidth utilization.
