The MiniSwitch-8 is compatible with Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable for 10 Mbps connections and includes a BNC port for connection to a Thin Ethernet backbone. Also included are one crossover port, a front-mounted reset switch and LEDs that indicate link, activity and power. 

The switch supports up to 1,024 addresses on each port. Dayna Communications, Salt Lake City, UT, (801) 269-7200, www.dayna.com.
