Often found in environments where both legacy and newer network hardware coexist, this switch handles mixed 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps traffic efficiently. It's built for small businesses or home offices requiring reliable, easy-to-use network expansion without the complexity of managed switches.

Key Features

• Five Ethernet ports supporting both 10 and 100 Mbps speeds
• Auto-negotiation to match connected device speeds automatically
