• Supports auto-MDI/MDIX and auto-sensing
The Hama switch supports PNP (plug and play) and
features the auto-MDI/MDIX function. You can connect
the Hama switch to computers or other network-capable
terminal devices without complex con gurations; it
doesn't even matter which network cable you use. You
can either use a Cat5e patch cable (1-to-1) or a crossover
network cable. The switch will automatically choose
the right setting for the type of cable used without you
having to con gure it.
• Power-saving mode
The Hama switch features advanced energy-saving
technology. This technology helps reduce the device's
power consumption if no data is being transferred or if a
connection is not being used.
