The MiniSwitch-8 works with PC and Macintosh-compatible computers and other devices running on a 10BASE-T Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer network. Installation is as simple as taking the MiniSwitch-8 from the box and connecting the cables. The plug-and-play design allows users to connect the MiniSwitch-8 in their current network without any network reconfiguration. The switch automatically learns the addresses of connected devices and reconfigures itself if devices are moved. The MiniSwitch is a store-and-forward switch A switching device that stores a complete incoming data packet before it is sent out. Such switches are used when incoming and outgoing speeds differ. Contrast with cut-through switch. ensuring data integrity by checking every packet before transmitting it. Each port supports up to 1,024 addresses for a total of 8,192, making it powerful enough for even large networks. Priced at around $100 per port this switch is the ideal solution for any network.
