Introduction
This switch provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports to offer an economical
way for the SOHO and small to medium business users to benefit
from the increased bandwidth. It upgrades your desktops to Gigabit
connections has never been cost-effective. Also, it is perfect for
graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large
files across the network quickly.
With its intelligent addressing engine, it provides users with a
wire-speed filtering and forwarding of the traffic. All ports support
auto-uplink detection, so users don't have to worry about the cable
type. Each port will automatically communicate for best speed and
to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Store-and-forward switching
prevents damaged packets and network errors from being passed
on into the network.

Installation
This switch does not require software configuration. Users can
immediately use any of the features of this product simply by
attaching the cables and turning on the power.
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair cable. Plug one
RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port of the switch, and plug the other
RJ-45 connector into the station’s network adapter. Power on the
switch and then system is ready.
In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to
connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the
ports support auto-uplink (MDI / MDI-X) function, using a straight
cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
For cable selection, refer to the following table
Network Speed Cable Type Max. Length
10M Cat. 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
100M Cat. 5 UTP/STP 100 meters
1000M Cat. 5, 5e UTP/STP 100 meters
Note: To prevent costly equipment damage and downtime, please
consider installing a surge suppression device or a UPS
(Un-interrupted Power Supply).
