The fact that D-Link can do well with switches is confirmed by reviews of Computer and Extra PC magazine, see the Download tab.

This desktop device with 5 ports enables Gigabit even in the smallest office. Its 10/100/1000 Mbit NWay ports support deployment in any network structure, regardless of whether 10 Mbit or 1000 Mbit devices will be used with them. All ports automatically detect the baud rate (10 Mbit/100 Mbit or 1000 Mbit) of the connected computers, or hubs. The ports also automatically distinguish between Full- and Half-Duplex operation and support Flow-Control. Transmission reaching speeds of up to 2000 Mbit in full duplex mode guarantees reliable data transmission, so the sending of time-critical data is also ensured.

Decide now to deploy Gigabit switches and thus a technology that will secure your investment in the future, as the Gigabit switch provides you with performance that grows over the network. Flow-Control according to IEEE 802.3x enables direct connection between the server and other switches for fast and reliable data transfer. The devices suffice without a fan and are optimally suitable for use directly at the workplace.
