LAN Microsegmentation
Perhaps the principal purpose for the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch is to
microsegment an existing LAN to improve network latency rates and
increase overall performance. The 100Mbps ports on the switch can be used
to connect those segments which require greater throughput.

Fast Ethernet Server Connection
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch is an ideal device for connecting a
dedicated server via a 100Mbps line to a 10Mbps network. Increasing the
bandwidth speed of a server connection can provide significant
improvements in network performance.
