Marketing description

The DES-1016D is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance workgroup performance whilst providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.
The switch provides 16 ports, all supporting the NWay standard. The ports negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX network speeds, as well as between full and half duplex. In full duplex mode, the switch's embedded flow control provides a means to protect users against possible data loss during transmission on the network. When connected to a LAN adapter (in a server PC) that supports flow control, the switch sends signals to the PC regarding buffer overrun during peak usage periods. The PC then delays transmission until the switch is ready again to accept new data.

Product features

• Ease of use
  The DES-1016D has 16 plug-and-play ports; the switch is a perfect choice for workgroups to upgrade performance in a client/server environment. The ports can be connected to servers in full-duplex, or hubs in half-duplex.
• Auto speed sensing
  The switch senses whether a network device is running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps and automatically adjusts for optimal performance.
• Auto negotiation
  Whether you are running at half- or in full-duplex, the switch automatically negotiates and runs the highest supported transmission rate.
• Auto MDI/MDIX crossover
  All ports support auto-negotiating MDI/MDIX detection, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. The DES-1016D is the perfect choice for Plug-and-Play support for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T networks.
• Wire-speed performance
  The DES-1016D features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture, with a 3.2Gbps switching capacity, for maximum data throughput. The DES-1016D also features an integrated universal power supply, and per port diagnostics LEDs that make it easy to "spot check" for problems. With wire-speed filtering and store-and-forward switching, the DES-1016D maximizes network performance while minimizing the propagation of bad network packets.
