The Cisco SD216 16-Port 10/100 Desktop Switch can significantly increase the speed of your network traffic. A switch serves the same function as a hub in a network design, tying your network equipment together. But unlike a simple-minded hub, which divides the network’s bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch delivers full network speeds at each port. Installing this cost-effective 16-port 10/100 switch can potentially give you 16 times the network speed you currently have.
