Compact Size and Enhanced Efficiency
PLANET’s newly-launched FSD-503 Fast Ethernet Switch is compact in size, measuring 100 x 64 x 24mm, and lighter, weighing 148g. Most importantly, its performance is enhanced. Its compact size makes installation easy in any tight spaces, making it ideal for various SOHO and home network applications. The upgraded model also features a power consumption reduction of nearly 28%, contributing to energy savings without sacrificing performance, while still delivering high-speed, reliable network connectivity for up to 50 users.
High-speed 10/100Mbps Workgroup Switch
PLANET Fast Ethernet Switch FSD-503 provides business and home users with a cost-effective integrated system of small-office / home-office networking. It is suitable for a network of 10 to 50 users, delivering a data rate of up to 100Mbps.
Stable Fast Ethernet Switch Performance
The FSD-503 also supports a Store-and-Forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency and high data integrity. Its high-performance throughput like filtering and forwarding rates of 14,880 packets per second at 10Mbps, and 148,800 packets per second at 100Mbps is enhanced. Moreover, its built-in packet buffer helps the FSD-503 to boost bandwidth, eliminating unnecessary congested traffic. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm, the FSD-503 can identify up to 1K different MAC addresses and provide 1Gbps switching capacity. This makes the FSD-503 the best in wire-speed packet transfer performance without the risk of packet loss.

Plug & Play
All RJ45 copper interfaces in the FSD-503 support 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ45 Category 5/5e cables. Supporting standard for auto-MDI/MDI-X can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight-through or crossover cables. The Flow Control function allows the FSD-503 to support routers and servers for direct connection to this switch with fast and reliable data transfer.

Applications
Ideal Switch for Home / SOHO Network
With five 10/100Mbps ports, the FSD-503 provides a cost-effective and high-performance solution for Home and SOHO network applications. To be able to segment the network and ease the network traffic, the FSD-503 is perfect for, making the user-friendly backbone of a network. In addition, the network status can be monitored at a glance by the FSD-503 with the help of LED indicators.
