Model No.
The Gigabit 8-Port Workgroup Switch provides non-blocking,
wire speed 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.
Apply this switching power to your current hub-based
Ethernet network, and your data traffic efficiency will
improve several times over. Connect your Gigabit-
equipped workstations to the Switch's 10/100/1000 ports for
full-duplex, dedicated bandwidth. It's perfect for graphics,
multimedia, and other applications that have to move
large files across the network quickly.
With the Gigabit 8-Port Workgroup Switch, you can connect
your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to your Gigabit server
backbone without any additional equipment. All ports are
auto-negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover
detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type.
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.
The Gigabit 8-Port Workgroup Switch from Linksys is the
perfect solution for your desktop Gigabit and 10/100
networking needs.
