Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)

•      Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p)

allows real-time traffic classification mapped to multiple hardware queues (Gigabit Ethernet v2 models support four hardware queues per port; other models support two hardware queues per port)

•      Class of Service (CoS)

prioritizes traffic by honoring Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)

Connectivity

•      Auto-MDIX

automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports

•      Jumbo packet support (Gigabit Ethernet models only)

supports up to 9216-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers

Performance

•      Half-/Full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port

doubles the throughput  of every port

Ease of use

•      Flow control

helps ensure reliable communications during full-duplex operation

•      Comprehensive LED display with per-port indicators

provides an at-a-glance view of status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation

•      Unmanaged

provides plug-and-play simplicity

•      Compatible

supports Windows® and Mac OS platforms

Flexibility

•      Fanless design

enables quiet operation for deployment in open spaces

Additional information

•      Green initiative support

provides support  for RoHS and WEEE regulations

•      Energy savings

5- and 8-port models utilize the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard  (IEEE 802.3az) and idle-port power down for energy savings
