EZ Switch 10/100
16-/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switches
Product Overview
SMC introduces the latest Gigabit switches to the EZ Switch 10/100/1000
family – SMCGS1601 and SMCGS2401. These switches provide Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity from the network backbone all the way to the edge of the
network and to individual desktops. With up to 10 times the speed of 100 Mbps
networks, these switches reduce transfer times of large data files and boost
bandwidth-intensive applications, thereby significantly enhancing overall
network performance. Jumbo frame support enables more efficient data
transfers with data packets up to 9 KBytes in size. The SMC EZ Switches are
easy to install and an ideal solution for network migration, as they are equipped
with 10/100/1000 Mbps auto MDI/MDIX ports. Not only is each port triple-
speed, all ports can be either connected to a workstation or another switch
without the need for special cross-over cables. Providing non-blocking wire-
speed throughput, the switches can handle the growing performance needs in
imaging, animation, CAD, film production, and other current and emerging
applications.
Key Features and Benefits
Green Ethernet
Environmentally friendly these switches allow significant
power saving compared to non-Green switches.
Support IEEE 802.1p QoS
When the switches receive a frame tagged with an
802.1p priority tag, they will place it into a priority queue.
Priority queuing is useful in implementations where time-
sensitive data such as voice and video are streamed
across the network.
Application Diagram
Auto MDI/MDI-X on Each Port
Support from Auto-MDIX means that no cross-
over cables are required. Simply plug and play.
Metal chassis
The compact, rack mountable metal chassis is
ideal for desktop or rack mounting applications.
