Simple-to-use
All Dimension Series Ethernet switches feature auto-sensing 10/100Mbps ports that automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of attached networking devices, making installation fast and easy.

Auto-MDI/MDI-X
Auto-MDI/MDI-X features in both the ES-105 and ES-108 automatically adjust the transmit/receive pins within a port, rendering crossover cables unnecessary. Auto MDI/MDI-X is based on signals detected from the wires of attached devices.

Flow Control Allows Fast and Reliable Connections
The IEEE 802.3x standard-based flow control allows both the ES-105 and ES-108 to prevent traffic congestion by informing attached devices to stop transmission. When the switches detect that the buffer of each port is nearly full, attached devices are requested to wait until new data can be accepted. Flow control allows 200 Mbps full duplex connections between servers and switches with minimum data transfer loss.

Flexible Design for Both Desktop and Cabinet Installation (ES-1016 & ES-1024 Only)
Whether the ES-1016 and the ES-1024 are the only devices in an office, or components of an extensive, complicated network, the 1U, rack-mountable design makes both models ideal for desktop or cabinet installation.
