10/100M Fast Ethernet Switch 5/8 port RC-405X/RC-406X User Manual INTRODUCTION Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing application are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them, Fast Ethernet, or l00Base-T provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the current l0Base-T technology.

10/100M Fast Ethernet Switch 5/8 port RC-405X/RC-406X User Manual 5-port Switch’s Uplink Port An uplink port is simply an Ethernet port where the Receive (Rx) and the Transmit (Tx) signals are swapped by crossing the Transmit and Receive twisted-pair wires. This will let the Transmit signal (and twisted-pair) on RC-405X correctly connect to the Receive connection on the other device and vice-versa, allowing for stacking similar devices, or simply expanding the number of ports.
