Linksys By Cisco® EG005W Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch

Get wire-speed switching and Cisco reliability in an 5-Port Gigabit desktop switch. The Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch provides non-blocking, wire-speed switching for your 10-, 100- and 1,000-Mbps network clients. Drop this switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user's requirements. Apply this switching power to your current hub-based Ethernet network, and your data traffic efficiency will improve several times over. Connect your Gigabit-equipped workstations to the Switch's 10/100/1000 ports for full-duplex, dedicated bandwidth of up to 2,000Mbps! It's perfect for graphics, multimedia and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly.

With the Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch, you can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to your Gigabit server backbone without any additional equipment. All ports are auto-negotiating and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. The Gigabit 5-Port Workgroup Switch from Cisco provides for all your desktop Gigabit and 10/100 networking needs.
