Product Description

Dualcomm's patent pending 24/48-Port CableShare Fast Ethernet LAN Switch (DCES-2448) is the first product offering of its kind in the networking industry. DCES-2448 is a rack-mountable 24-port unmanaged fast Ethernet switching apparatus with 48x RJ45 jacks on the front panel. The top 24 RJ45 jacks connect to an internal Ethernet switching ASIC and provide Ethernet packet switching among these 24 ports; each of the top RJ45 jack also is wired to the corresponding bottom RJ45 jack in such a way that a second 10/100Base-T Ethernet signal from the bottom RJ45 jacks can be carries by a single network cable (e.g. CAT5e) by using unused twisted pairs. DCES-2448 can be used as a regular 24-port unmanaged fast Ethernet switch; it also can easily be set up for cable sharing, connecting two terminal devices by one network cable. Especially, this product provides a very cost-effective approach of migrating an existing local area network to support VoIP telephony by building a cable-sharing and physically separated dual-network system that effectively separates voice traffic from computer data traffic.
