The 9466-ET 10/100Mbps, Layer 2. Ethernet switch allows the

interconnection of MTL 9460-ET range networking modules via its 5

ports. It also enables an Ethernet network to cover a greater distance

using either Cat5e cable or fibre-optic for longer spans. This capability

is due to the low latency ‘store and forward’ mechanism integral to

the switch, which ensures that the stringent timing associated with

Ethernet is maintained.

With the 9466-ET switch each connection is effectively a ‘point-to

point’ network segment unlike the older generation hubs that were

simple ‘dumb’ repeaters. The old hubs needed to impose a limit on

overall network length to ensure proper collision detection; this limit is

overcome by the 9466-ET. Broadcast “storm” protection is also provided

to eliminate network overload due to excessive ‘broadcast’ & ‘multicast’

packets.
