Can this switch share a back bone or connect to an additional (same switch) to expand the network and at what speed?

My understanding is that you can cascade them. I have this connected to a four port router with other stuff off the other router ports. Everything can connect.

I am not sure about the backbone, but I do have another switch (Smaller one made by Cisco, which is also much quieter), connected to this one. I do not experience any loss of speed, though I have not run any actual speed tests.

Yes you can uplink this switch to another Cisco SG200 using either copper or fiber. The copper Ethernet runs at 1G speed full duplex, and the fiber miniGBIC runs at 1Gb speed also. If you have an existing backbone switch you can also uplink using either copper Ethernet or fiber all at 1Gb speed. Easiest is to use Ethernet to uplink so you don't have to buy fiber GBIC connectors. You can mix different make of switches to uplink but the recommended way is to use switches of the same manufacturer and possible same make. Life will look much better in that environment.

yes, you can. i do not think there is a limitation for how many extension devises you can add to it. it is just like an ethernet line.

ehternet hub, switch, router...as long as the device is in the same subnet or there are proper ACL's in place to make it happen between subnets, it'll work as well.

"Can this accomodate a standard Cisco rackmount switch? Or would it not have enough depth?" Hi, If the Cisco switch is already rack mount you won't need the unitray.

Yes - this has one LAN connection port you can use to attach a hub or switch and extend your network once this is connected to your existing Wifi network.

The switch should work fine. But bear in mind that the speed of transfer will be limited by the actual cable. i.e., 10/100 or megabit. The additional 7 ports will work.

Yes, that is called daisy-chaining. We recommend that you do not do more than two unit though as the network speed will decrease with every unit you add to the chain.

This unit is not meant to be rack-mounted, and there is no hardware included for rack mounting. you'd have to either set it on top of something in the rack or buy a rack mount shelf.The switch supports "trunking" (802.1q tagging), so you can daisy-chain them. Of course, a better design would be for each of the two switches to have a separate uplink to a core or distribution layer switch, if that's the application. Cheers.

Hi Tim, yes as stated in some early responses this is a layer 3 switch. Be happy to help with any other question you may have on this equipment, thanks - DT Networks

Yes, you can expand your current network using the same SSID. This device perfirms rather well doing.

You should be able too. Once you convert a signal to USB this switch will handle it.

Yes! The four (4) Wired Network Ports are Gigabit, and the Router/Switch port is also Gigabit.

Yes. Jut plug the incoming cable into one of the ports, and you can have 4 more devices access the internet on the other ports after plugging the switch into an outlet..

That is the wrong kind of switch for what you want to do. You need something like the "Linksys SE2500 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch ".

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

I concur with Fan of Frost, for a few dollars more you could get the 8 port switch. "http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-8-Port-Gigabit-Switch-DGS-1008G/dp/B003X7TRWO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid;=1404933567&sr;=8-6&k;eywords=d+link+gig+switch"But, if you are doing what I did, I bought the 8 port and the 5 port. The 8 port is in my office where I needed more ports, and the other is across the other side of the house in my master bedroom. I wanted gig speed for all my devices that support it. They are daisy chained and everything works fine.
