5-Port 10/100Mbps Switch for SOHO

10/100Mbps Unmanaged Switch

The DES-1005D is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance small workgroup performance while

providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any port to

either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load

5 Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ports

and 10BASE-T, as well as between full- and half-duplex.

All ports support 802.3x flow control. This function

minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision

signals when the port's receiving buffer is full. Flow

control is available in the full-duplex mode.

All ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross

over. This eliminates the need for cross over cables or

uplink ports. Any port can simply plug to a server, a hub or

a switch, using the usual straight-through twisted-pair

client/server environment. The ports can be connected to

servers in full-duplex, or hubs in half-duplex.

With low-cost connection per-port, the switch can also be

set up for direct connection from the PCs. This relieves

data bottleneck by giving each workstation a dedicated

bandwidth on the network.

For network starters, a convenient kit is available for

ready installation. This kit includes a DES-1005D switch,

2 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI cards, and 2 6-meter

Auto-learning of network configuration

Secure store-and-forward switching scheme

Auto-correction of reverse twisted-pair polarity

Compact palm-sized

DES-1005D switch provides 5 auto-sensing

10/100Mbps ports in a palm-sized box. The

switch allows mix and match of Ethernet and

Fast Ethernet in full- and half-duplex modes.
