Multi-Port 100Base-FX Fiber Optical connective for Distance 
Extension Solution
In modern society, the network is part of our life particularly for the 
business today. The PLANET MGSW-004-12F / MGSW-004-16F managed 
fiber Switch are designed to improve backbone and workgroup network 
applications which need high performance, long distance and stable 
transmission quality. By offering up to 12/16-Port of 100Base-FX interfaces, 
the MGSW-004-12F / MGSW-004-16F managed fiber Switch can extend 
distance reach 2km and deploy each network devices easily.
The MGSW-004 series managed fiber Switch with high performance 
and supports up to 9.6Gbps backplane for packet transmission. These 
managed fiber Switch provides network with long distance Fast Ethernet 
connectivity over multi-mode Fiber optic cable. 
Full Managed Layer 2 Features
These managed fiber Switch are able to be managed through Web, telnet 
and console, the SNMP MIBII also supported for maximum management 
functionality. The MGSW-004 series managed fiber Switch provides users 
with high-speed network connections of a store-and-forward architecture 
for abnormal packet filtering. It also supports IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree 
Protocol to maintain a loop-free network and IGMP to limit the flow of IP 
multicast traffic. The MGSW-004 series managed fiber Switch supports 
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and up to 4095 groups, also provides port security for 
improved network security.
