• TheDES-1008Eisidealfordeploymentwithmultiplehigh-speedserversfor10Mbpsor100Mbpsshared-bandwidthworkgroups.With
the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for
simultaneous access to the server.
• TheDES-1008Eisscalable,allowingtwoormoreDES-1008Eswitchestobecascadedtogether.Sinceallportssupport200Mbps,anyone
of its eight ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to open a Full-Duplex Fast Ethernet pipe.
