Linksys EZXS88W Etherfast® 8-Port 10/100 Switch

• Network Data Transfer Rate: 10/100 Mbps
• 8-port Auto-Sensing Switch (half & full duplex modes)
• Delivers high-end video, multimedia and other speed-intensive applications
• Eliminate Bandwidth Constraints and Clear Up Bottlenecks
• Speeds of Up To 200Mbps in Full Duplex Operation
• Packs a full suite of error detection and correction features for reliable communication every time

The Linksys EtherFast 8-port network switch allows you to create a small network suitable for workgroup use. The EtherFast can connect up to eight computers to form an Ethernet network that operates at speeds of up to 100 Mbps; it also has error detection and correction features that ensure data is transmitted accurately between connected devices.

Easy Network Creation

The Etherfast workgroup network switch automatically configures the network to handle whatever devices are connected to it. This allows you to connect anything from computers and servers to networkable printers and storage devices. Connecting the switch to an Internet source that can be shared among the networked systems requires the use of a wired router or broadband modem.

High-Speed Operation

The Linksys Etherfast switch is capable of providing up to 200 Mbps of data transmission speed per port, allowing for full-duplex transmission over a single link when attached to a 100 Mbps fast Ethernet device. This means that data can be transmitted at full speed both upstream and downstream for all systems connected to the switch. The error detection and correction technology in the switch prevent transmissions from interfering with one another and ensure that data is sent to the correct devices regardless of the amount of activity that the switch is currently handling.

Backward Compatibility

The Linksys Etherfast 8-port switch is backward compatible for use with slower devices, such as those capable of transmission speeds of only 10 Mbps. The switch automatically configures itself to match the speed of the connected device; it can even operate in half-duplex mode to handle devices that aren't capable of synchronous data transfer. Each port can be set to different speeds or duplex modes, so a huge variety of networkable devices can be used with the switch simultaneously.
