Starting at about $35 a port, our new gigabit switch family provides just what our resellers and business customers have been asking for: speed, affordability and ease of use."

For quick, effective flow of information, the desktop and rackmount gigabit switches provide data transfer rates at up to 1000Mbps on each port, enabling large amounts of bandwidth for higher capabilities. The switches also feature auto speed negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X, which allow the switches to automatically sense and configure the cable type connected to each port.

The 10/100/1000-autosensing enables the switches to support high bandwidth applications such as Video Conferencing, Graphics, and CAD Systems, bringing gigabit capability to the desktop. By moving gigabit to the desktop, the level of performance also increases for remote and small offices for a wider variety of applications and devices, including file transfers, databases, gaming networks, etc.
