Overview
The SMC8508T is a 8-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit switch that provides
non-blocking, wire-speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit
network clients. With the SMC8508T, you can connect your existing 10/100
Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any additional
equipment. You can replace your current workgroup hub or switch with the
SMC8508T and instantly upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full
Gigabit speeds, while continuing to service other clients at their current
speeds. Or you can build your network from the ground up, with appropriate
link speeds for each user's requirements. Either way, the SMC8508T, and its
jumbo frame support, is perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other
applications that require you to move large files across the network
quickly. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you
don't have to worry about cable types. Each port independently and
automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or
full-duplex mode.
