The BS-MP20 12-Port 10GbE Network Switch from Buffalo is built upon 802.3bz standard, which positions small businesses to maximize current network infrastructure while preparing them for later transition to 10GbE. The 802.3bz standard supports 2.5, 5, and 10GBase-T networks through the same switch using a basic CAT5e cable. To transition to 10GbE networking, this switch is suitable with the TeraStation 5010 line of NAS devices which features up to two native 10GbE ports. Each port on the switch automatically detects and configures the correct connection while full duplex operation provides maximum performance.
The BS-MP20 features a compact design that can sit on a desktop, mounted on a wall, or in a rack. Additionally, the chassis design supports noise reduction. To simplify installation, it includes rubber feet for desktop use and rails for rack-mounting.
