Get Connected With Hawking
This Compact Switch from Hawking is the ideal Switch solution for the Workgroup
user who needs high performance and seamless migration between 10BaseT and 100BaseTX
network speeds.
The PN636ES provides 16 auto-sensing RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports to increase
the performance of your network by bringing full Ethernet bandwidth to individual
workgroups or straight to your desktop, which will eliminate the need to share
the bandwidth of a single network. It is also capable of connecting 10M, 100Mbps,
half and full duplex simultaneously. The PN636ES provides a full wire-rate 10/100Mbps
Switch port for greater network performance. In addition, one "Uplink" port is
provided for easy connection to other Switches or Hubs for network expansion.
Furthermore, this full-featured Switch offers the same 10/100Mbps performance
as full-size models, but in a compact and efficient size, with the performance
and hardware guaranteed to be compatible with other Switches, Hubs and Adapters.
Switching Technology
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available
to users on a local area network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network
loading by dividing a local area network into different segments, which don't
compete with each other for network transmission capacity.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments.
The switch, without interfering with any other segments, automatically forwards
traffic that needs to go from one segment to another. By doing this the total
network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling
and adapter cards.
For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems
of chaining hubs beyond the "two-repeater limit." A switch can be used to split
parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand
your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX
networks. Switches supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast
Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new
100Mbps networks.
