SMC introduces the latest Gigabit switch to the EZ Switch 10/100/1000 family - the SMCGS2401. This switch provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity from the network backbone all the way to the edge and to individual desktops. With up to 10 times the speed of 100 Mbps networks, this switch reduces transfer times of large data files and boosts bandwidth-intensive applications, thereby significantly enhancing overall network performance. Jumbo frame support enables more efficient data transfers with data packets up to 9 KBytes in size. The SMC EZ Switch is easy to install and an ideal solution for network migration, as it is equipped with 10/100/1000 Mbps Auto MDI/MDIX ports. Not only is each port triple-speed, all ports can be either connected to a workstation or another switch without the need for cross-over cables. Providing non-blocking wire-speed throughput, the switch can handle the growing performance needs of emerging bandwidth-hungry applications.
