Wi-Fi is becoming the dominant networking type, but you still should think about using a network switch to wire up as many of ...

In the home or office, the Ethernet switch functions as a central station connecting computers, printers and every other wired device to each other. The switch is also wired to the router and ...

The original design manufacturers, or ODMs, as well as the portions of the original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, that ...

A switch merely helps Ethernet devices exchange packets between each other on the same level – it’s typically nowhere near as smart as a router gets. Oftentimes, a home router will contain a ...

Network switches come in two different flavors: managed, where you have some interface to configure and monitor the equipment, and unmanaged where the device just does what it is supposed to do ...

PoE switches have revolutionized network power distribution by combining data transmission and electrical power into a single ...

The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ...

Whether you want to manage network infrastructure like switches, routers, VPNs, NAS, servers, and databases, or operational ...

Rackmount Ethernet switches have built-in LCD modules, allowing engineers to check device status and quickly troubleshoot. Hot-swappable modularity empowers module swaps without affecting operations.

In its most recent series of Data Center Networking Long-Range Forecast Reports, Crehan Research predicts that combined ...

Every second, terabytes of data—the equivalent of downloading thousands upon thousands of movies at once—travel around the ...

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE, GE) connects PCs and servers in local networks and is commonly employed along with a mix of 10/100 Mbps devices. For example, a 10/100/1000 switch supports all three rates ...
