Segment Switching and Bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps The FS726 and FS750 Switches can be used to segment a network into multiple connected pieces to increase overall bandwidth and throughput. Both switch models can segment networks that are built with the NETGEAR DS508 and EN516 hubs, and can act as bridges connecting traditional 10BASE-T Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks.

Example of Segment Switching and Bridging Media Compatibility and Conversion The FS726 and FS750 Switches are ideal for a mixed media environment. Both switches feature two front panel module bays that can be easily installed with one or two fiber Gigabit Ethernet modules, one or two copper Gigabit Ethernet modules, or one gigabit module of each type, providing optimal flexibility for high-speed connection to a server or your network backbone. applications 3-2
