Bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps Networks

The Model SW518 switch functions as a bridge connecting traditional Ethernet networks to
100 Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. Users requiring increased network bandwidth can be grouped
together in the 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network isolated from the network users who need
occasional network connection to the server.
switch connected to a group of 10 Mbps users. The users who require more power are networked
to the NETGEAR FE516 Fast Ethernet hubs.
