SMC's EZ Switch 10/100 SMCFS801 is a 8-port dual-speed Fast Ethernet desktop switch that is compact and easy to install. Fully compatible with existing Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices, the switch can dramatically improve network performance by offering throughput of up to 200 Mbps per port. A power-saving feature automatically powers down switch ports that have no link to make your network environmentally friendly. Each switch port supports auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation, so the optimal speed and duplex mode are automatically selected for all legacy connections. The switch is completely Plug and Play and includes a simple array of "at-a-glance" LED indicators for monitoring network activity and troubleshooting network problems.
