The ENH916-NWY is a high-performance Fast Ethernet switch with 8 ports capable of 100Mbps speeds. Auto-negotiation operation (NWay) automatically determines between 10Mbps or 100Mbps when connecting to other networking devices. Using Category 5 (RJ-45) cables, this unit can function in Full-duplex or Half-duplex mode allowing connectivity to routers, network cards, hubs and other switches Switches deliver constant bandwidth to all connected devices while reducing network congestion. Store-and-forward switching method reduces errors in forward frames maintaining data integrity. Expanding your existing network has never been easier. Plug-n-play allows for easy installation without the need of software or drivers. Front-panel diagnostic LEDs show connection status for all ports.
