GX5 Series
Asante offers a complete family of plug-and-go Gigabit Ethernet switches. The FriendlyNET GX5 Series features more performance and greater expansion in your choice of six configurations.
Each 1000BaseT port delivers a 1000 Mbps Gig pipe to your high-performance desktop, server or notebook computers. All over your existing Category 5 UTP cable (4 pairs).
Need to connect to a fiber Gigabit backbone? Two models (GX5-1300 and GX5-2400) feature an industry-standard GBIC port. Just plug in your favorite GBIC transceiver module to run Gig on fiber over long or short distances.
All GX5 switches can connect to 10/100 Fast Ethernet devices through some of the Gigabit (1000BaseT) ports. If you have several 10/100 devices, choose a switch with dedicated 10/100 ports for a more economical solution.
