The GO-SW-5E is scalable, allowing two or more GO-SW-5E to be
cascaded together. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any one of its five
ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex
Fast Ethernet pipe.
The GO-SW-5E is the perfect choice for a department or office planning
to upgrade to Fast Ethernet. The GO-SW-5E can accommodate 10Mbps
or 100Mbps devices, providing a flexible solution for existing (10Mbps)
Ethernet workgroups.
The GO-SW-5E combines dynamic memory allocation with store-and-
forward switching to ensure that the buffer is effectively allocated for each
port; and it controls the data flow between the transmit and receive nodes
to guarantee against possible packet loss.
The GO-SW-5E is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that
offers solutions for the accelerating bandwidth needs of small Ethernet
workgroups.
Other key features include:
 Auto-MDI/MDI-X function supports automatic MDI/MDI-X
crossover detection, giving true 'plug and play' capability—Crossover
or Straight-Through CAT5 cables can be plugged into any port.
 Nway Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-sensing of
speed (10/100Mbps), providing an automatic and flexible solution for
the network.
 Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by sending
out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full.
 Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per port at
wire-speed for 100Mbps operation and 10Mbps operation.
