D-Link DES-1008 / DES-1008C / DES-1008A / DES 1008 / DES 1008C / DES 1008C 8-Port 10/100 Switch is an 8-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that allows you to quickly set up a wired network. Connect to multiple computers together to share files and folders, or connect it to a router to share an Internet connection. Auto-sensing 10/100 Ports - 8-Port 10/100 Switch uses auto-sensing 10/100Mbps ports - Allowing a small workgroup to flexibly connect to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices to create an integrated network. - These ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, as well as full and half-duplex - Allowing you to get the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your network. Auto MDI/MDIX CrossOver - All ports support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. - Each port can be plugged directly to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables. Flow Control for Secure Transmission - 802.3x flow control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the ports receiving buffer is full. - This gives you a more reliable connection for all of your connected devices, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted network connection.
