MultiLink Managed Ethernet Switches provide extremely reliable networking with very fast
reconfiguration times for recovering from faults occurring in the network. The complete set of
network management functions available will provide the configurability and monitoring capability
needed for most applications, while the high level of Security features available will ensure your
network is always protected from tampering or illegal access. In addition, MultiLink switches offer
industry-leading port density, with support for up to 32 ports in a single chassis. Combined with
support for both copper connections and a variety of fibre-optic connector choices, MultiLink
switches are flexible enough to work with a variety of network media types and applications.
