Features
Gigabit Ethernet with Auto MDI/MDI-X Detection
All ports provide 10/100/1000Mbps line rate speed with auto-negotiation and auto
Medium Dependent Interface (MDI)/Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDI-X)
detection. Auto-negotiation speed automatically selects the best connection speed (10,
100, or 1000Mbps) and duplex mode (half or full duplex) for communication with attached
devices. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover detection automatically adjusts for the Ethernet
cable type in use (straight-through or crossover). This makes connecting the device to
other network devices, such as other switches or routers, very simple and easy.
Jumbo Frame Support
100-series Unmanaged Switches support frames up to 9.6 Kilobytes, called Jumbo
Frames. This feature improves network throughput and reduces overall CPU utilization
during large le transfers, such as video streams, by allowing a bigger packet of data to
be passed in each Ethernet frame.
Non-Blocking Architecture with Full Wire Speed Forwarding
Ethernet frames run from the input port to the output port through the “backplane” of the
switch. The AN-100-SW-R network switch backplane is capable of handling all trafc
on all ports at the same time. Having this non-blocking switch fabric architecture means
the backplane is so fast that there is no signicant delay for data rate due to backplane
congestion. Thanks to this, the switch features Full Wire Speed Forwarding, meaning
that the nominal trafc speed at all Ethernet ports can be up to 1 Gbps simultaneously.
Multiple Mounting Options
In addition to industry-standard options for shelf- and rack-mounting, Araknis network
switches are also capable of over a dozen possible custom rack positions, and even
wall-mounting options, using only the accessories included in the box.
Fan-less Design
The device is designed so that heat from the CPU is dissipated through efcient heat
sinks. No fans are necessary to maintain a safe temperature, resulting in ultra-silent
operation.
Quality of Service (QoS) Support
The 100-series unmanaged switches support Quality of Service (QoS). The switch is
aware of priority levels of trafc received and forwards it based on that priority level.
Incoming trafc is always examined for QoS priority encoding.
