The MIL-S501xx provides 5 switched N-Way 10/100Mbps RJ-45
Ethernet ports and one 100Base-FX fiber port.

The Switch will automatically detect the speed of the device that
you plug into it to allow you to use both 10 and 100Mpbs devices.
The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup
hubs while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth
needed to accommodate multimedia applications. The Switch
features a store-and-forward switching and it can auto-learn and
store source address on a 4K-entry MAC address table.
