Features and Benefits
Cisco 100 Series switches provide an easy-to-use solution for your small business network. They offer:
●
Ease of use: Cisco 100 Series switches work right out of the box, with no software to install and nothing to
configure. Each switch port independently sets itself for the optimal speed and determines whether to run in
half- or full-duplex mode automatically. As a standards-based Cisco solution, Cisco 100 Series switches are
also designed to immediately accommodate all of the devices in your network, including:
◦ Support for 10 megabits per second (Mbps), 100 Mbps, and up to 1 gigabit per second (1000 Mbps)
devices in the same network
◦ Automatic cable detection, so you don’t have to worry about using the wrong cable type
◦ Compatibility with network devices from other vendors
●
Simple setup: Designed for small office spaces, Cisco 100 Series switches are available in both compact
desktop and rack-mount models. The desktop models offer a wall-mount option for discreet mounting under
a desk or on the wall of an office or conference room.
●
High performance: Cisco 100 Series switches deliver the performance you need to run your business
applications - including bandwidth-intensive video services - and avoid slow and sluggish networks. It
supports up Gigabit Ethernet speeds, unlocking a new level of capacity and performance in your business
network and letting you transfer large files in seconds.
●
Reduced energy costs: Cisco 100 Series switches are designed to help conserve energy by optimizing
power use without compromising performance, which protects our environment and reduces your energy
costs. In addition, they support the Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standard, which reduces
energy consumption by monitoring the amount of traffic on an active link and putting the link into a sleep
state during quiet periods. Most of the switches have no fans, so they run silently and unobtrusively while
lowering energy costs.
●
Power-over-Ethernet: Cisco 100 Series switches are available with PoE ports on both Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet models. This capability simplifies the deployment of IP telephony, wireless, video
surveillance, and other solutions by allowing you to connect and power network endpoints over a single
Ethernet cable. With no need to install separate power supplies for IP phones or wireless access points, you
can take advantage of advanced communications technologies more quickly, and at a lower cost.
●
Support for advanced technologies: All switches include advanced Cisco traffic-handling features to keep
your applications running at peak performance. Integrated QoS intelligence on all models automatically
prioritizes delay-sensitive services such as voice or video to improve your network’s performance. Fast
store-and-forward switching identifies damaged packets and prevents them from being passed on through
the network. All of these features run automatically, with no management or configuration required.
●
Peace of mind: Cisco 100 Series switches deliver the rock-solid reliability you expect from a Cisco switch.
The solution has been rigorously tested to ensure optimal uptime and performance. In addition, unlike the
purchase of a consumer-grade product, your investment in a Cisco Small Business network will grow with
your business.
