Affordable
Aggressive prices enable your workgroup, department or small network to ramp up to Gigabit speeds, even all the way to the desktop.

Flexible
Each port is equipped with automatic speed and duplex sensing, plus Auto Uplink to adjust for straight-through or crossover cables to make the right link. Standards-based design makes it easy to combine 10-, 100-, and 1000-Mbps devices on your network.

Convenient
Easy to set up and easy to use, these unmanaged switches have per port LED's for effortless network monitoring. They are compact enough for the desktop but come with a rack-mount kit. They are also compatible with PC, Macintosh, Linux, and Unix operating systems.

Auto Uplink™
This automatically senses whether the straight-through cable plugged into any port should have a "normal" connection, e.g., connecting to a PC; or an "uplink" connection, e.g. connecting to a router, switch, or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.

Note: Using Auto Uplink to create multiple paths between any two network devices will disable your network.
