Introduction
The Waters' GS switch is a sixteen or twenty-four port unmanaged switch which meets all
IEEE802.3/u/x/z specifications. This wiring closet switch will seamlessly integrate with the rest
of your network through its auto negotiating and non-blocking design. The switch provides up to
32/48GBps aggregate bandwidth for an effective method for high speed networking to the
desktop.
Because both models (GS1016 and GS1024) have two optional slots for SFP fiber, ports 15 and
16 in the GS1016 and ports 23 and 24 in the GS1024 can support two types of media (copper
or fiber). Use of the SFP module for fiber eliminates the use of the corresponding port in copper.
Both switches support MDI/MDI-X auto crossover, so no cross over cables are required.
