Product Overview

The Cisco® SD216 16-Port 10/100 Desktop Switch (Figure 1) can significantly increase the speed
of your network traffic. A switch serves the same function as a hub in a network design, tying your
network equipment together. But unlike a simple-minded hub, which divides the network’s
bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch delivers full network speeds at each port.
Installing this cost-effective 16-port 10/100 switch can potentially give you 16 times the network
speed you currently have.

It’s also the perfect way to integrate 10-Mbps Ethernet and 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet devices. All 16
ports are auto speed negotiating and have automatic medium dependent interface (MDI) and MDI
crossover (MDI-X) detection, so you don’t have to worry about the cable type. Each port
independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200 Mbps of
bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being
passed on to the network.
