With its advanced switching technology, the Linksys 16- or 24-Port 10/100
Switch will boost your network performance with much more than just full
duplex data transfer and dedicated bandwidth. 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.
You have several installation options. The Switch’s compact size fits onto your
desktop, or use the wall mount slots to hang it somewhere out of the way. If
your network equipment is in a rack, install it using the included rack mount
brackets.
No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 16- or 24-Port
10/100 Switch has speed, flexibility, and reliability that you can count on.
