Netgear DS116 16-Port Dual Speed Network Hub with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet

The NETGEAR Model DS104, Model DS106, Model DS108, and Model DS116 Dual Speed Hubs are network hubs that enable users to mix and match 10 and 100 megabit per second (Mbps) devices on the same network. This capability eliminates the high cost and complexity of separate network equipment for 10 and 100 Mbps users. These four hubs, also known as the DS100 Series hubs, are ideal for small networks in transition from 10 to 100 Mbps and for linking networks operating at different speeds. All four hub models connect PCs to share printers, files, Internet access, and email communications. Each network port coordinates with the connected PC to run at 10 or 100 Mbps, making network configuration and upgrade effortless. In addition, the 10 and 100 Mbps network segments are internally bridged to form one network, providing full connectivity among all users.
