Packedge announces new Gigabit Ethernet SwitchCreated: 6/21/2010 1:14:36 PMPackedge Device & Software announced on Monday the release of its SW5-GW 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, designed for home entertainment and multi-room audio/video use.
The SW5-GW has stacking capabilities, enabling individuals to conserve space and keep their entertainment centers tidy. The switch can be used to distribute connections from large networks into smaller subnets or to expand the number of open ports in an entertainment center setup that features only one Cat 5e cable.
Victor Pak, president and CEO of Pakedge, said the SW5-GW “is optimized for home theater, multi-room audio/video, home-networking, smart home and security applications.” The device is designed to be reliable and offers users extensive longevity through rigorous use, he said.
The new product will automatically adjust to network speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps and offers tremendous durability via its compact metal housing exterior. The SW5-GW does not have a fan, making it an ideal option for home users looking for greater flexibility without added noise.
Packedge’s new Ethernet Switch may work well with TURCK’s new CAT 5e Ethernet cable that offers users a durable coating and speeds up to 1 Gbps. The new cables are superior to conventional CAT 5 cables, which typically offer users speeds up to 100 Mbps, according to CAT 5 Cable Company.
