This new Linksys rackmount switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, and 100 megabit network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty-four 10/100 ports wire up your workstations, while the integrated 10/100/1000BaseTX port connects to the backbone at Gigabit speeds. And the mini GBIC port allows future expansion to alternate transmission media like optical fiber.

It features non-blocking, wire-speed switching that forwards packets as fast as your network can deliver them. Also included are Address Learning and Aging to prevent data transfer errors and Data Flow Control to help prevent packet collisions. The switch provides broadcast storm suppression, has hardware MAC and IP address learning.

All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic and fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.

No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port 10/100 + 1-Port Gigabit Switch + 1miniGBIC has speed, flexibility, and reliability that you can count on.

ZyXEL 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch provides high flexibility and high bandwidth connectivity to servers, workstations and other attached devices.
