The D
-Link DES
-1008A 8
-Port 10/100 Switch uses auto
-sensing 10/100 Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly connect to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices to create an integrated network. These ports detect the network speed and auto
-negotiate between 10BASE
-T and 100BASE
-TX, as well as between full and half
-duplex, allowing you to get the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your network.
All ports support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be plugged directly to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight
-through twisted
-pair Ethernet cables.

802.3x flow control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the port’s receiving buffer is full. This gives you a more reliable connection for all of your connected devices, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted network connection.
