1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities into one cost-effective solution. This manual discusses how to install your DES-1026G 24-Port 10/100Mbps + 2-Port Combo GE Copper/SFP Ethernet Switch. In this manual, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to your DES-1026G 24-Port 10/100Mbps + 2-Port Combo GE Copper/SFP Ethernet Switch, and “switch”...

100Mbits/sec. An important technology incorporated by 100BaseT is its use of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol - which is the same protocol that 10BaseT uses - because of its ability to work with several different types of cable, including basic twisted-pair wiring.
used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps networks.

LEDs LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode. The front panel LEDs provides instant status feedback and simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting tasks LED indicators of the Switch POWER When the Power LED light is on, the Switch is receiving power. When the Power LED light is off, the power cord is improperly connected.

(Port25~26) 2*Combo GE Copper/SFP Ethernet ports The DES-1026G is equipped with 2*Combo GE Copper/SFP Ethernet ports that are auto negotiable 10/100/1000Mbps and also support auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection. These two ports can operate in half- and full-duplex modes. Furthermore, an SFP port can also connect to servers and devices via fiber.
The site where you place the DES-1026G may greatly affect its performance. When installing, take the following into your consideration: Install the DES-1026G in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

The DES-1026G supports 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and fiber connections. It runs in full/half duplex transfer mode for 10/100Mbps and full duplex transfer mode for 1000Mbps. Each port on the DES-1026G supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X. Auto-MDI/MDI-X is a feature that eliminates the need for worrying about using either a standard or crossover cable—you can use either one—and allows any port to be an uplink port.
