TORRANCE, CA - May 5, 1999 — TRENDnet, the leading innovator of networking solutions, announces the new 5 or 8-port palm-sized Dual Speed Ethernet Switches. TRENDnet’s TE100-S55E and TE100-S88E 5/8-port 10/100Mbps N-way Ethernet Switches present the perfect choice for small workgroups for any desktop space.

TRENDnet’s TE100-S55E and TE100-S88E switches allow users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidth, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands. With five or eight ports readily available, they are easy to install and expand to an extra MDI-II connector. With parallel store-and-forward architecture feature, a direct transfer of the data can be accomplished.

The N-way ports automatically negotiate between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX network speeds, as well as between half- and full-duplex modes. Thus, any port is capable of uplinking to Fast Ethernet or downlinking to Ethernet. Our economic design for external power adapter makes the low pricing and high performance solutions possible for networking needs of any budget.
