Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch

The Gigabit 5-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 con-
tinuing 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 of up to 2000Mbps! It's perfect for graphics, mul-
timedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network
quickly.
With the Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch, you can connect your existing
10/100 Ethernet network to your Gigabit server backbone without any addi-
tional 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 5-Port Workgroup Switch from Linksys is the perfect solution for
your desktop Gigabit and 10/100 networking needs.
