POWER SUPPLY SOCKET
There is one standard power socket on the rear panel of the switch for the AC
power cord.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
This switch is an excellent choice for mixed Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit
Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. In
a basic stand-alone configuration, it can provide direct full-duplex connections to
workstations or servers. When the time comes for further expansion, just
connect to another hub or switch using one of the Fast Ethernet ports built into
the front panel or a Gigabit Ethernet port on a plug-in SFP transceiver.
Some typical application examples are described in this section.
NETWORK AGGREGATION PLAN
With 52 parallel bridging ports (that is, 52 distinct collision domains), the switch
can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node,
increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing
100 Mbps connectivity through layer 2 switches. In addition, the switch is also
connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
