Delivering a complete, efficient small network in one device with fast 1G server links, or extending the SMB network at the edge, the SMCFS26 features auto-MDIX to reduce the complexity of installation while eliminating the need for straight-through and cross-over cabling for connecting PCs or other networking devices. Its compact, fanless design makes it ideal for desktop or rack-mount placement; and non-blocking architecture ensures smooth, reliable performance.

“We are committed to bringing our customers the full range of quality Ethernet technology—from cutting-edge technology to simple, practical solutions,” said Iain Kenney, Director of Product Marketing, SMC Networks. “In line with SMC’s strategic initiative to maximize network efficiency, speed and bandwidth for a variety of network applications cost-effectively, the EZSwitch 10/100 SMCFS26 is an example of a simple, practical solution for today’s small to mid-sized business network. This switch supports an entire small business network with fast 1G server links and steady 10/100 desktop connections—and does it at a price that enables it to win out in more cost-benefit analyses.”

The new EZSwitch 10/100 Standalone 24-port Unmanaged Switch is available now, at an MSRP of $159.99.
