ProSafe 8 Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch with 4 port Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE)

A switch is a device with which it is possible to connect computers into a (local area) network, provided your computers all have an appropriate networking device installed. Switches can be daisy chained to form larger networks and come in managed and unmanaged variaties. The unmanaged versions generally cannot filter data and will forward any data that is fed into them, so they are better suited for small networks. Switches are easy to set up (just plug in the network cables) and allow you to share printers, storage space and other network resourses with your entire home or office network.

Modestly priced, the FS108P is ideal for a small business that wishes to inexpensively use Power over Ethernet (PoE) to deploy wireless access points and IP-based network surveillance cameras. PoE eliminates the requirement for a dedicated electrical outlet to power wireless devices. This allows for flexibility in situating wireless devices where AC power is difficult to access and lowers installation ... More>>> costs. The FS108P works by providing power and data from a single point over a single Cat-5 (Ethernet) cable.
