ZyXEL's ES-105 and ES-108 are 5 and 8-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switches. Both models provide auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps switching capabilities for efficient connectivity to servers, workstations and other attached devices. Plug-n-play usability, outstanding price-to-performance ratio, and flexible designs make the ES-105 and ES-108 simple and affordable solutions for a wide range of SOHO applications.

Features

Simple-to-use

Both the ES-105 and ES-108 feature auto-sensing 10/100Mbps ports that automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of attached networking devices, making installation fast and easy.

Auto-MDI/MDI-X

Auto-MDI/MDI-X features in both the ES-105 and ES-108 automatically adjust the transmit/receive pins within a port, rendering crossover cables unnecessary. Auto MDI/MDI-X is based on signals detected from the wires of attached devices.

Flow Control Allows Fast and Reliable Connections

The IEEE 802.3x standard-based flow control allows both the ES-105 and ES-108 to prevent traffic congestion by informing attached devices to stop transmission. When the switches detect that the buffer of each port is nearly full, attached devices are requested to wait until new data can be accepted. Flow control allows 200 Mbps full duplex connections between servers and switches with minimum data transfer loss.
