The EtherFast 5-Port 10/100 Switch is an easy and flexible way to boost your network's performance while migrating to the power of Fast Ethernet. Unlike a regular hub that wastes network bandwidth by bouncing packets around until they finally reach their destinations, a switch forwards packets only to their intended recipients, immediately reducing network traffic jams and improving overall efficiency for your entire network. The 5-Port Switch comes with five switched RJ-45 ports that can operate in either half or full duplex mode, letting your network run at 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps, or a whopping 200Mbps!

Whether you're planning on moving to a Fast Ethernet network now or later, the 5-Port Switch is ready to go to work for you immediately. Use its switching power on your 10Base-T network to improve traffic efficiency tremendously. Connect your file server to the Switch's 100Mbps port to improve access times for all of your users in one step. And when you're ready, migrate your entire network to 100BaseTX while using switching to achieve full duplex speeds of up to 200Mbps the choice is yours!

The 5-Port Switch packs a full suite of error detection and correction features for reliable communication every time. Auto partitioning, data collision control, preamble regeneration, and incoming frame retiming ensure that not a single bit is lost, even during the heaviest moments of network activity. Built to last, the 5-Port Switch is optimized to deliver high-end video, multimedia, database, and other speed-intensive applications at blistering speeds. Linksys covers this switch with a five-year warranty.
