The D-Link DES-1008D is a powerful desktop Dual Speed 8-port 10/100Mb Ethernet/Fast Ethernet NWay auto-negotiating Switch. It functionally eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves data congestion by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each of the eight ports. An individual port can connect to either an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device. NWay auto-negotiation automatically determines the transmission speed of the attached device on each port. The DES-1008D provides dynamic buffer allocation that employs network-load balancing for faster data handling. The uplink interface connection enables easy expansion.
