    The Switch User’s Guide Introduction The Switch is equipped with 24 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports and 4 combo 10/100/1000BASE-T/SFP (mini-GBIC) ports for flexible copper/fiber Gigabit connection. The Switch is an effective solution for the small and medium size business connections. This all-in-one solution economically integrates Gigabit technology to remove server bottlenecks, and speed up access to the network backbone.

    The Switch User’s Guide 10Base-T Ethernet standard, designed to raise the data transmission capacity of 10Base-T from 10Mbits/sec to 100Mbits/sec. An important technology incorporated by 100Base-T is its use of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, which is the same protocol that 10Base-T uses, because of its ability to work with several different types of cable, including basic twisted-pair wiring.
