7 10/100BASE-TX Ports for Plug and Play Connections
Each of the 7 10/100BASE-TX ports supports automatic MDI/MDIX detection, providing true plug and play capability without the need for confusing crossover cables or crossover ports. With the media auto-sensing feature, you can plug in the network cable to the switch directly without the need to worry if the end node is a NIC (Network Interface Card) or switch/hub. The switch also supports flow control and auto-negotiation of half or full duplex transfer modes for each port.

100BASE-FX Fiber Port for Server Connection
The switch provides a fiber port capable of transferring data at long cable distance. This port can be used to connect to a server over the reliable fiber cable, or to attach the switch to the network fiber backbone.

Fast & Reliable Data Transfer
With 802.3x flow control support and fast store-and-forward switching scheme, the DES-1008F gives you secure data transfer with low data latency that prevents error packages from transmitting among segments.
