The compact size will allow you to put it directly onto your desktop or you may use the wall mount slots to hang it out of your way in a location of your choice. You may also install it using the included rack mount brackets. No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port 10/100 Switch has speed, flexibility, and reliability that you can count on.
