Part#: PL-1016G
 

Overview:

      The PL-1016G 16-Port Gigabit desktop switch provides you an easy way to make the transition to Gigabit Ethernet. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality. The PL-1016G features non-blocking wire-speed architecture with a 32Gbps switching capacity for maximum data throughput. An 8K MAC address table provides scalability for even the largest networks. It also supports 802.3x Flow Control for full-duplex mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable data transmission. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.

Application:

      A switch is a device that allows multiple computers to connect to one Internet connection. Unlike a network hub, which serves a similar purpose, a switch has the ability to manage the traffic that passes through it. A switch can be a stand-alone device, suitable for home or small office use, or rack-mounted for larger network applications. Switches also vary widely in traffic management capability. It's important to clearly define your requirements before you purchase a switch so you can buy the one best suited to your needs.
