The line is made up of NetLINE 10/100 Switches, the NetLINE 10/100PCI Card and USB Adapter, and the NetLINE 10 Mb PCI, ISA and PC Cards.

Available in both 5-port and 8-port configurations, theNetLINE 10/100 Ethernet Switches’ compact size takes up less desktop space,making them a great solution for classrooms where space is at a premium. Theyare ideal for integrating 10 MB and 100 MB devices on the same network segment.Switching ports segment traffic to improve network performance, and N-Wayauto-negotiation easily connects devices at maximum speed. The switches alsofeature plug and play installation with no software to install, and provideat-a-glance LEDs to provide immediate troubleshooting information.

For users who require the speed of 100MB Ethernet, there are two NetLINE products to choose from: the NetLINE 10/100PCI Card and the NetLINE 10/100 USB Adapter.

    Project HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware) gives students the opportunity to design and build products for potential use in space missions. As part of this project, NASA asked the students of Cypress Woods High School to design and build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that carries a camera and can maneuver around the zero-gravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS) under the direction of ground control. Learn how the students used 3D printing to quickly and inexpensively build functional prototypes to test and improve the functionality of their design. Read more...
