Planet 24-Port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Switch | FNSW-2401

24-Port Fast Ethernet Switch with VLAN & Extend Modes

Power-saving, High-Performance Networking 
PLANET FNSW-2401 Green Networking Switch is an ideal solution in line with the energy-saving trend worldwide. The FNSW-2401 is a 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Switch upgraded from the earlier version, thus giving you the benefits of energy savings and high performance.

DIP Switch for Operation Mode Selection
The new FNSW-2401 offers “Standard”, “Flow Control Off”, “VLAN” or “Extend” mode. The FNSW-2401 operates as a normal Fast Ethernet Switch in the "Standard" operation mode.

The “VLAN” operation mode features port-based VLAN function that can help to prevent the connected clients’ multicast or broadcast storm from influencing each other.

In the "Extend" operation mode, the FNSW-2401 operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps duplex operation but can transmit data over a distance of up to 200 meters overcoming the 100m limit on Ethernet UTP cable. With this brand-new feature, the FNSW-2401 provides an additional solution for distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation. Its VLAN isolation function isolates each port so as to prevent broadcast storm and defend DHCP spoofing in the “Extend” operation mode.

Energy Savings
The FNSW-2401 incorporates advanced Green Networking technology:

Intelligent scales power based on cable length
The intelligent scales power is an intelligent algorithm that actively determines the appropriate power level based on cable length. The FNSW-2401 would automatically detect the Ethernet cable length and adjust power usage accordingly. The connected device can substantially reduce overall power consumption, which makes a significant contribution to energy saving. The FNSW-2401 uses new engine that provides power saving up to 12% less energy but maintains high performance efficiently.

High Performance
The high performance throughput (filtering/forwarding rate: 14,880 packets per second in 10Mbps, 148,800pps in 100Mbps) helps the FNSW-2401 boost bandwidth, eliminates unnecessary traffic, and relieves congestion on your critical server path. The FNSW-2401 is the ideal choice to alleviate bottlenecks in client / server and peer-to-peer environments in a cost effective way.

Plug and Play
The FNSW-2401provides users with high speed network connections. With its auto-negotiation capability, all the RJ45/STP ports of the FNSW-2401 can be configured to speeds of 10/20Mbps or 100/200Mbps automatically. What's more, the MDI/ MDIX auto-detection is for easy, plug and play connection, regardless of the cabling type, straight-through or crossover.

Applications

Backbone Switch
With up to 4.8Gbps switching fabric, the FNSW-2401 can provide high bandwidth connectivity to Fast Ethernet network backbone or as the backbone of your workgroup.

Department Switch
Uplink directly by any straight / crossover cable to the backbone switch, the FNSW-2401 provides the connectivity to back plane yet segment the network traffic of the department to your backbone.
