Sharing bandwidth-intensive applications slowing your network to a crawl? The FriendlyNET FS5000 Series switches will boost your existing network performance by giving you a dedicated 100 Mbps bandwidth to each desktop node. Traffic moves directly from point-to-point without slowing down other users eliminating network bottlenecks. With full-duplex operation on each port, bandwidth is effectively doubled to a total throughput of 200 Mbps for maximum performance. Graphic files. Video streams. MP3 music files. And just everyday email with large attachments. Each FriendlyNET switch is designed for businesses that crave the highest network performance possible to exchange large data files, graphic images, and access real-time information. With its built-in 10/100 auto-negotiation technology, the switch's 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet capability can even link your existing 10 Mbps workgroups to a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network backbone. Beneath its stylish translucent FriendlyStack case design, every FriendlyNET switch includes a rugged metal chassis to protect against unauthorized removal or theft. The case design also features special hooks (to attach security cables) and four mounting holes (including two concealed holes). These security features are ideal for schools, small offices, and other public areas where physical security is essential. Not only FriendlyNET switch's small footprint is ideal for wall-mount or desktop applications, with its ergonomic stackable design, you can easily add/remove network components as needed. It adds expandability and upgradeability to your network design with the complete freedom to mix and match 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps connections. Need to connect more users? Just stack another FriendlyNET switch or router to accommodate additional computers.
