A Cisco SF100-24 switch works right out of the box, with no software to install and nothing to configure. Each switch port independently sets itself for the optimal speed and determines whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode automatically. As a standards-based Cisco solution, this Cisco SF100-24 switch is also designed to immediately accommodate all of the devices in your network, including: -Support for 10 megabits per second (Mbps), 100 Mbps, and up to 1 gigabit per second (1000 Mbps) devices in the same network (Gigabit devices plugged in to the Cisco SF100-24 will work at a 10/100 speed) -Automatic cable detection, so you don't have to worry about using the wrong cable type -Compatibility with network devices from other vendors
