3 Baseline 10/100 Switch 48-Port
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX plus 2-Port Gigabit is a versatile, easy-to-use
unmanaged switch. It is ideal for users who want the high-speed per-
formance of 10/100 switching with the added functionality of two
Gigabit links, but do not need sophisticated management capabilities.
This Baseline Switch is shipped ready for use; no configuration is nec-
essary.
The Baseline Switch has 48 shielded RJ-45, 10/100 Mbps
auto-negotiating ports and two shielded RJ-45, 10/100/1000BASE-T
ports on the front panel. Each port automatically determines the
speed and duplex mode of the connected equipment and provides a
suitable switched connection. Each port also supports automatic
MDI/MDI-X detection.
The Baseline Switch is suited for office use where it can be free
standing, or rack mounted (in a wiring closet or equipment room).
The Baseline Switch comes with:
One power cord
Four self-adhesive rubber pads
One mounting kit
