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. 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.
