Page 11: Introduction
NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The DG-FS4526E is a Fast Ethernet Layer 2 switch with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports, and two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots that operate in combination with 1000BASE-T ports 25~26 (see "Front and Rear Panels" on page 11). - Page 12 | Introduction HAPTER Overview WITCH RCHITECTURE The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity.
