D-Link DES-1024F

D-Link DES-1024F ... providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, these devices allow users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.

The 10/100Mbps ports auto-sense the connected node speed, allowing for flexible connection and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet integration. These intelligent ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10Base-T, as well as full- and half-duplex. With a built-in slot, users can configure the 1024F switches with 2 fiber ports to establish 2 secure long-distance fiber links between 2 switches or between a switch and a server. Capable of running at full-duplex, these ports serve well in high EM interference environments, providing cable distances of up to 2 km. The switch provides plug-and-play connection to mixed bandwidth workgroups while letting the administrator easily set up port trunking and VLAN groups via a built-in console port.
