The D-link DES-1210-28P 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet switch is ideal for small businee owners as it lets them have total control over their network. This switch eliminates the need of a complex reconfiguration process by connecting the Ethernet and Gigabit copper ports to existing CAT5 twisted pair cables. Ports on the D-link DES-1210 support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX crossover, hence removing the need of uplink ports or crossover cables.
