RJ-45 PORTS
The switch contains 8 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All ports support automatic MDI/
MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission
mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) is selected
automatically.
Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the
switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
