IEEE 802.3bz: The Value in Versatility

The primary advantage of the 802.3bz standard is the flexibility to support 2.5, 5 and 10GBASE-T networks through the same switch. Small businesses are positioned to maximize current network infrastructure while preparing for a soon or later transition to 10GbE networking.

Many small businesses do not have existing network infrastructure to support 10GbE requirements. BS-MP20 allows these businesses to achieve faster throughput at 2.5 and 5GbE with basic Cat 5e cabling. By using the intermediate speeds supported in BS-MP20, businesses can take advantage of up to 5x increased bandwidth over existing 1GbE infrastructure while planning future network improvements.

Speedy Networking

Eliminate network bottlenecks and deliver faster speeds to your SMB network with Buffalo's affordable series of 10GbE switches. 10GbE networking allows your SMB to consolidate hardware devices into a smaller space, be more energy efficient & lower utility costs, and is more cost-effective.

Multi Gigabit Networking

Easy Installation

The BS-MP20 series utilizes Auto-MDIX, which means that every port on the switch will automatically detect the type of Ethernet cable being used, and configure the port to the correct configuration. This eliminates the need to identify and manually set up the connections on your switch.

Energy Efficient

Buffalo switches are designed to be energy efficient in order to help control your utility costs. The BS-MP switches are designed to the IEEE 802.3az standard that monitors activity status of each port and only provides power to ports with a connected device that's powered on.
