General Information
- Marketing Information: The D-Link DSS-8+ is a Dual-Speed 8-port 10/100Mb Ethernet/Fast Ethernet NWay auto-negotiating Switch. It is designed to eliminate unnecessary traffic, and relieve congestion by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each of the eight ports. The DSS-8+ can be deployed with multiple high-speed servers for shared bandwidth to 10Mbps or 100Mbps workgroups. With the highest bandwidth at 200Mbps (100Mbps in full-duplex mode), any port can provide workstations with a congestion-free data pipe for simultaneous access of the server.
