The DES-1048G is a high port-density unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed for cost-effective workgroup connection. With 48 10/100Mbps ports and 2 SFP Slots in a low-profile rack-mountable box, this switch provides very low-cost connections for 48 workstations, plus 2 flexible Gigabit connections to 2 servers.

With 48 10/100BASE-TX ports supporting auto-sensing speeds and auto MDI/MDIX plug-and-play, the DES-1048G provides easy connection for 48 desktop users at a very low cost, allowing a workgroup to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.

The switch provides 2 SFP (mini GBIC) for flexible Gigabit connection. You can select to install an optional fiber Gigabit transceiver in the SFP slots for server connection, switch cascading or network backbone attachment.

802.3x standard flow control minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full. This function support allows you to deploy Gigabit servers operating at 2000Mbps full duplex mode for simultaneous access from workstations.
