problem of chaining hubs beyond the "two-repeater limit." A switch can
be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains,
making it possible to expand your Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter
network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting
both 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for
bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and newer 100Mbps
networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous
generation of network hubs and bridges, which were characterized by
higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area
networks, but the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required,
make routers relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution
to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.

Features

The GO-SW-5E is a high performance switch designed specifically for
environments where traffic on the network and the number of users
increase continuously.
GO-SW-5E implements D-Link's Green Technology special power-saving
features under speed at 100Mbps that link status and adjust power usage
accordingly. Furthermore, D-Link Green implements the newly ratified
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard for reducing energy
consumption of network links during periods of low utilization by
transitioning interfaces into low-power state without interrupting the
network connection.
The GO-SW-5E, with its small, compact size, was specifically designed
for small to mid-sized workgroups. The GO-SW-5E can be installed where
space is limited; moreover, it provides immediate access to a rapidly
growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions.
The GO-SW-5E is ideal for deployment with multiple high-speed servers
for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups. With the highest
bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide
workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access to
