ASUSTeK Computer Inc (ASUS), a leading provider of high-performance networking solutions, today introduced the GigaX1105N 5-port and GigaX1108N 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switches.
With extreme performance lying underneath the stylish design and advanced features, the ASUS GigaX1105N and GigaX1108N boost networking performance of standard Gigabit solutions by 30%.
It`s all about speed
What is the first criterion when purchasing a switch? It`s speed. The GigaX1105N and GigaX1108N offer a 30% enhancement compared with standard gigabit solutions, enabling them to handle multimedia, video streaming and real-time broadcast applications with ease. In addition, the ASUS Ethernet switches come equipped with built-in internal universal power supplies, which eliminate the hassles caused by carrying a bulky adaptor around or even misplacing it.
Designed with user experience at heart
All ports on the GigaX1105N/1108N have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, meaning users no longer have to worry about cable types. Furthermore, each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and duplex mode for designated network.
The ASUS switches support 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention to avoid high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. Efficient store-and-forward mode of switching ensures the quality of the data packets being passed onto the network. The plug-and-play nature of the switches also permits immediate function usage by simply attaching the cables and turning on the power.
Compact and elegant
The compact and fan-less designs of the switches are perfect for environments with limited space and users that demand peace and quiet. The switches are beautiful inside as well, offering error diagnosis features that monitor system status and trouble shoots on the network.
With the ever-growing requirement for new applications such as media streaming and digital home, the demand for better network performance devices to support the high-bandwidth is imperative. The ASUS GigaX1105N and GigaX1108N provide the best value by delivering the highest performance and friendly designs.
