The 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch

The 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking,
wirespeed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network
clients. Drop this Switch in place of your current workgroup hub or
switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full
Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at
their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with
appropriate link speeds for each user's requirements.
Either way, it's perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications
that have to move large files across the network quickly. And with the
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, when you need to expand your
network even further, its two MiniGBIC ports let you add fiber-optic
capability easily and cost effectively.
With the 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your
existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without
any additional equipment. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover
detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port
independently and automatically negotiates speed and duplex mode.
Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control
with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients
from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. Fast store-and-forward
switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the
network. World famous Linksys reliability and the limited lifetime
warranty give you peace of mind and the rackmount form factor
integrates smoothly into your network infrastructure. Let the Linksys 24-
Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch kick your network into high gear.
