Introduction
8-Port Ethernet Fiber Switch
The Signamax 8-port 100BaseFX fiber switch adds 100
Mbps switching performance in a cost-effective rack mount
package. This eight-port switch provides multimode (models
065-7310FSC and 065-7310FST) or singlemode (model
065-7310FSM) fiber ports.
This switch is useful for segmenting networks that are bogged
down with excess traffic. By splitting a network into several
segments and bridging them, you can cut the traffic load on
your network and reduce collisions on each segment,
especially if you can minimize intersegment traffic by placing
users and devices that normally communicate with each other
on the same segment.
This switch fully complies with the IEEE802.3u 100BaseFX
standard. It features non-blocking "wire-speed” switching
mechanisms, as well as the ability to filter local traffic,
collisions, and errored packets to maximize network
performance.
