• 12 or 24 10/100 ports
• Two Gigabit copper or fiber transceiver slots
• Rack mountable with included hardware
• Industry-leading warranty

Features:
 

Connectivity:

• 10/100 auto-sensing per port: automatically detects and sets the speed for any 10Base-T or 100Base-TX device
• Media-flexible uplink ports: provides Gigabit or 100Base-FX ports for uplinks or server connections
• ProCurve Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 ports

Performance

• 9.6 Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip: high-performance switch design with a non-blocking architecture
• Half-/Full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port: double the throughput of every port

Ease of Use

• Unmanaged: provides plug-and-play simplicity
• Flow control: ensures reliable communications during full-duplex operation
• Comprehensive LED display with per-port indicators: provides an at-a-glance view of status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation

Industry-leading warranty

• Lifetime Warranty: for as long as you own the product, with next-business-day advance replacement (available in most countries)
