Ports

The product comes with twisted-pair ports.  These ports can be used to

connect to individual stations in need of faster access, to segment heavily

utilized LANs, and/or to provide higher bandwidth access to a key server in a

client-server environment.

10Mbps Ports

The 10Mbps twisted-pair ports are standard RJ-45 connectors for use with

unshielded or shielded twisted-pair (UTP/STP) wiring. The 10Mbps ports

operate at an user-selectable speed of 10Mbps for half-duplex mode or

20Mbps for full-duplex mode.  In either mode, the twisted-pair ports can

operate over 100 meters of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP or STP cable.

Possible uses for the 10Mbps switch ports:

• 

Segment an existing LAN to improve bandwidth utilization.
