A switch is a device with which it is possible to connect computers into a (local area) network, provided your computers all have an appropriate networking device installed. Switches can be daisy chained to form larger networks and come in managed and unmanaged variaties. The unmanaged versions generally cannot filter data and will forward any data that is fed into them, so they are better suited for small networks. Switches are easy to set up (just plug in the network cables) and allow you to share printers, storage space and other network resourses with your entire home or office network.
8 10/100Mbps Ports - Unmanaged Stand-alone - Layer 2 Switch: This compact palm-sized switch is designed for the home and small offices. It provides 8 10/100Mbps ports to connect to 8 workstations and servers. Hubs can also connect to this switch.
All ports auto-sense the network speed of the computers and hubs to run at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. The ports also auto-negotiate between full and

half duplex and support flow control. Expansion is easy through a MDI uplink port. You cascade several switches together through this port to get more ports.
IEEE 802.3x Flow Control allows your servers to directly connect to this switch for fast, reliable data transfer. At 200Mbps full duplex, this switch provides high-speed data pipes to your Servers with minimum data transfer loss.
Auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross over eliminates the need for cross over cables or uplink ports. Any port can simply plug to a server, workstation, a hub or another switch using the usual straight-through twisted-pair cable.
