CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The Two-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switches are standalone, dual-port Ethernet- to-Fast-Ethernet switches. In addition to enabling 10/100-Mbps and 100/100- Mbps switching, the Switches can also extend the diameter of Fast Ethernet networks up to 100 km. The Two-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch is available in both a UTP and a fiberoptic version.
Two-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switches are standalone units designed for 19" rack mounting. LED indicators help with installation and maintenance. Figures 4-1 and 4-2 show the front panels of the different models. 4.1 Front Panels Figure 4-1. Front panel—LB9801A. Figure 4-2. Front panel—LB9802A, LB9803A, and LB9804A.
