WaveSwitch 100-8, 8-Port Ethernet SwitchBase Unit and Two High-Speed Slots. FDDI (DAS) Interface Included.
WaveSwitch 100 improves existing ethernet LANs by reducing or eliminating sharing of the 10Mbps bandwidth of ethernet, and requires no changes to existing ethernet adapters or wiring. WaveSwitch 100 has eight 10Base-T ethernet ports and two optional high-speed (100Mbps) ports. Each ethernet port defines a distinct ethernet LAN segment. All ethernet ports can intercommunicate at wire rate (10Mbps) simultaneously because the WaveSwitch 100 has an internal switching capacity of 100Mbps. The high-speed (100Mbps) ports provide connections to high-performance file servers and interconnection between multiple WaveSwitches.
WaveSwitch is designed to accommodate WaveBus, CDDI, FDDI, fast ethernet and ATM port modules. WaveBus is Plaintree's 100Mbps fiber optic fast ethernet.
WaveSwitch technology is scalable to large networks of thousands of ethernet stations.
