Office a little cramped? Want high-powered switches in one of the smallest boxes you can find? If so, Black Box Palm-Sized Ethernet Switches are just what you need to get full-featured 10-/100-Mbps switching without breaking your budget or wasting space. Just look at all the big, big things this little switch can do! The switches are each a scant 1.1"H x 6.3"W x 3.2"D - that's slightly smaller than a common ZIP drive. You can put them on a desk, on top of another box, even hide them behind your PC or Mac. Wherever you put them, you'll save valuable space. All units feature 10-/100-Mbps autonegotiation with autosensing ports. They're a perfect choice for networks running 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or a mixture of the two. Best of all, you don't have to configure any ports to match device speed - just plug the switches into your network. All models use a nonblocking switching architecture that enables your network to handle almost any data-intensive application. Accounting office with spreadsheets? Video production company with imaging and multimedia applications? No problem for this switch! Don't worry about network efficiency or speed either. Store-and-forward switching technology eliminates error propagation, and wire-speed forwarding makes sure your network functions as quickly as you need it to. Save - don't sacrifice - with Palm-Sized Ethernet Switches from Black Box.
