D-Link DES-1008

D-Link DES-1008 ... (DES-1008) provides increased bandwidth for mixed 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks through eight dual-speed ports. All ports feature full duplex signaling and NWAY auto-negotiation for maximum speed and ease of use. The DES-1008 is IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and 802.3u 100Base-TX compliant, so it operates with all other network equipment that complies with these standards.

Full duplex signaling support enables each port of the DES-1008 to double network throughput to 20Mbps on Ethernet segments and 200Mbps on Fast Ethernet segments. NWAY auto-negotiation provides optimum ease-of-use by sensing the transmission speed and detecting full or half duplex signaling of each attached device. The DES-1008 then automatically configures each port to the highest supported speed. The DES-1008 also uses store-and-forward switching technology to optimize both speed and data integrity. In addition, automatic self-learning capabilities further enhance performance. At selected intervals, the DES-1008 reviews and learns each node address, builds a MAC address table and routes transmissions along the fastest network path for maximum throughput. The DES-1008 includes comprehensive LEDs for easy diagnostics and troubleshooting and comes with a lifetime warranty.
