NETGEAR FE104 4-PORT 100 BASE-TX FAST ETHERNET HUB

Applications including multimedia, groupware, imaging, and client/server databases are pushing the performance limits of traditional 10 Mbps Ethernet, even in small networks. The NETGEAR FE100 Series Fast Ethernet Hubs, from Bay Networks, provide a very compact and affordable solution to relieve these bandwidth bottlenecks and help future-proof your network. They implement 100BASE-TX, which is just like Ethernet, only 10 times faster.At 10 times the speed of Ethernet, the NETGEAR FE100 series provides fast information exchange, resource sharing, and client/server or peer-to-peer communication using simple Category 5 UTP wiring--the same wiring used in 10BASE-T Ethernet. The small-form-factor, sturdy, metal design is unobtrusive for desktop installation or wall-mounting. These hubs are plug-and-play with no software to configure. These LEDs provide clear and intuitive status. In addition, a utilization percentage bar graph provides at-a-glance network status.
