D Link 16 Port Smart Copper Gigabit

The DGS 1216T Smart Switch presents a cost effective solution for the small and medium business to economically implement high speed Gigabit packet switching with easy fine tuning of network performance and security. This switch comes with 16 copper Gigabit ports and 2 combo SFP Mini GBIC for fiber connection. Port trunks are provided for server deployment and network backbone attachment, while functions important for bandwidth intensive applications such as Priority Queues and VLANs are supported to enable you to implement Quality of Service QoS and security without having to go through complex network management usually found in other managed switches.16 copper Gigabit ports provide an inexpensive alternative solution to fiber optic. Using your existing low cost Cat. 5 copper twisted pair wires as the transmission media, these ports allow you to instantly upgrade to Gigabit capability without requiring you to install new, expensive fiber cables. All ports support plug and play connections with auto sensing of 101001000Mbps network speeds, fullhalf duplex auto negotiation and MDIMDIX cross over.Gigabit ports can be combined together to create multi link load sharing aggregated bandwidths to a server or a network backbone. To expand the network, you can also make use of the port trunks to eliminate bottlenecks between the cascaded switches.The switch support VLANs to let you improve security and bandwidth utilization by limiting the broadcast domains and confining intra group traffic within their segments. To segment up the network, VLAN supported workstations and servers that are connected to the switch can be grouped into different Virtual LANs VLANs.The switch supports not only Layer 2 802.1p Priority Queue control, but also other ways to prioritize network packets. Classification of users data priorities can be based on a data packet Priority Queue or the TOS field in the IP header. This QoS function support allows you to run bandwidth intensivedelay sensitive applications and to attach video servers to the switch for video conference. VLANs for Enhanced Security Performance.
