(24) 10/100/1000 BASE-TX + (4) 1000BASE-FX
MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH
The ComNet
CWGE28FX4TX24MS Layer 2 Managed 28 Port Ethernet Switch supports
™
twenty-four (24) 10/100/1000BASE-TX ports and four (4) 1000BASE-FX ports of Ethernet
data. The four 1000BASE-FX ports are SFP configurable for fiber type (multimode or
single-mode), connector type and distance. The exclusive C-Ring redundant ring
feature protects networks from interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast
recovery technology. The electrical ports support the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet IEEE
802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/MDIX features are included. The
CWGE28FX4TX24MS are optically (1000BASE-FX) and electrically compatible with any
IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet device.
