Product Description

The 5-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user's requirements. Either way, it's perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly.With the 5-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any additional equipment. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.

Great Product.......2007-06-12

This little switch was easy to setup and include into an existing network, actually there was nothing to setup!
Why do I like it? Because its invisible. From when I unpacked it and plugged in a few Ethernet (1gb and 100mb) devices, it has never reminded me that it exists!

connecting time clock.......2007-05-13

The company I work for was going to automated time clock, I didn't want to run another line and a router would not work, this did the job.

Outstanding product - Great Value.......2007-01-03

I needed more speed on my network. I run a home based business and have 8 computers on the network. The computers could handle a large amount of data quickly. The standard speed switches I had could only operate at 10/100. I looked into and purchased two Gigabit Switches (16 and 5 ports). I also purchased the corresponding network adapter cards (that's a no brainer). It was one of the best technology investments I made in 2006.

version 2 product performs to specifications.......2006-05-19

I own a pair of these, both version 2.

Product works as advertised - performs within specifications. The 5 port unit has no fan and is thus silent in the true sense of the word.

I only gave 4 stars because the unit does not support jumbo frames.

Also, Linksys has free online chat based tech support if you need it.

Works like a charm..........2005-05-20

I have been shopping for a Gigabit Switch with which to upgrade my home network and have found not a single positive review regarding any Linksys Gigabit Switch.

I am uncertain if other users have been burned by receiving shoddy hardware from the start; however, the two units I purchased are in perfect working order and are silent and cool--contrary to the numerous critiques on Amazon.com and several hardware review web sites. (I wonder if Linksys made modifications to the design since this product has been released...)

The metal case keeps the switch cool, although it will still get warm--like anything else you plug into an electrical outlet. The device feels sturdy and works very well. I have a LINUX box set up as a file, FTP, and web server and have had no issues whatsoever moving large files with this device over the past week. There is mention of a fan in this and the larger model (SD2008); however, I have yet to hear this little switch make a sound at all.

My only issue with this particular model is that it is not designed to really inform the user of the connection speed--that is something you must rely upon Windows to do. The connection LEDs will light-up and blink based upon network activity, but there is no indication whether the speed is 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.

I have been using Linksys products for over a year and a half and have not once received a piece of hardware for which I needed to return to the store or contact technical support. I used a Microsoft Wireless Broadband Router (MN-500) which needed to be replaced three times over a six-month period. I made the switch to Linksys and never turned back.

Good luck and happy shopping!
