Technical Details for Linksys 5-Port 10/100 Switch SD205

Linksys 5-Port 10/100 Switch SD205 ... design - tying your network equipment together. But unlike a simple-minded hub that divides the network's bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch delivers full network speeds at each port. Installing this cost-effective 5-Port 10/100 Switch can potentially increase your network speed by five times!

It's the perfect way of integrating 10 Mbps Ethernet and 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All five ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.
