Eight Ports Fiber-Optic Ethernet Switch - Planet FNSW-8086F User Manual

Eight Ports Fiber-Optic Ethernet Switch

The FNSW-8088F has eight multi-mode fiber ports. And
for FNSW-8086F, it has 6-port 100BASE-FX ports and 2-
port 10/100BASE-TX ports.
This switch makes it possible to join a 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet network to an existing 10Mbps Ethernet network
(FNSW-8086F). Its internal cache buffers the traffic from
the higher bandwidth 100Mbps segment to the 10Mbps
segment. If you later decide to make both segments
100Mbps Fast Ethernet, the ports of the switch will
automatically sense the change and adjust to 100Mbps
operation.
In addition to the benefits of integrating 10Mbps and
100Mbps networks through TP ports, this switch is also
useful for segmenting networks that is bogged down with
excess traffic as a fiber-optic switching backbone. By
splitting a network into several segments and bridging
them, you can cut the traffic load on your network and
reduce collisions on each segment, especially if you can
minimize intersegment traffic by placing users and devices
that normally talk to each other on the same segment.
This switch fully complies with IEEE802.3u, 100BASE-TX,
100BASE-FX, and IEEE802.3, 10BASE-T standards. It
features "wire-speed " switching mechanisms as well as
the ability to filter local traffic, collisions, and error packets
to maximize network performance.
This eight-port switch also facilitates an affordable and
efficient migration path to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and can
continue to enhance your network's performance even if
