Detailed Product Description

The 26-port D-Link DES-1026G unmanaged switch is designed to meet theneeds of the most demanding workgroup and departmental connectivityrequirements. A reliable, easy-to-use switch without the complexity ofmanagement, the DES-1026G provides (24) 10/100 BASE-TX ports plus (2)10/100/1000BASE-TX ports. This all-in-one solution economicallyintegrates gigabit technology, helping to remove server bottlenecks andspeed up access to the network backbone. The DES-1026G combines ease ofuse with unsurpassed performance resulting in an exceptional value forany cost-conscious network administrator who wants the best possiblesolution at the best possible price.

Ease of Use
TheDES-1026G is a true Plug-and-Play device with features such as AutoSpeed Sensing, allowing it to automatically sense whether a networkdevice is running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps then automatically adjustingitself for optimal performance, Auto Negotiation (Full or Half Duplex)negotiating and running the highest supported transmission rate whetherin Half or in Full-Duplex, and Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover offeringauto-negotiating MDI/MDIX detection on every port to eliminate the needfor crossover cables or uplink ports.

Superior Performance
The DES-1026G features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture with an8.8Gbps switching capacity for maximum data throughput. With wire-speedfiltering and Store-and-Forward switching, the DES-1026G also maximizesnetwork performance while minimizing the propagation of bad networkpackets.

Quality of Service
The DES-1026G supports802.1p Quality of Service (QoS). QoS assists in the prompt delivery oftime sensitive data such as voice, video, and gaming traffic. Whenframes enter the switch with 802.1p priority tags, they areautomatically placed in one of four built-in hardware queues. Frameswith higher priority tags are then passed through the switch moreefficiently, helping eliminate jitter and lag in VoIP and multimediatraffic.

Exceptional Value
In addition to being backedby a 5-year warranty, this easy-to-use 10/100BASE-TX switch willenhance and compliment any existing network infrastructure and deliverthe performance that IT managers and other SMB network administratorsdema
