GO-SW-8G

8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch

Features

Connectivity

• Eight Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for high-speed
wired connections

• Cable Diagnostics Function noties users of
cable conditions through product LEDs

Green Ethernet

• Reduces power to a port when no link is
detected

• Adjust power to a port by detecting the length
of the connected Ethernet cable

The GO-SW-8G 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch is part of D-Link’s new series of SOHO

devices that make use of D-Link’s Green Technology, providing energy savings, reduced heat,

and a longer product life without sacricing performance or functionality. It provides eight

Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network and a quick way to upgrade your network

to Gigabit connectivity. An energy-ecient power adapter (Energy Star Level V qualied),

minimized use of harmful substances (RoHS compliant), and recyclable packaging make this

switch truly environmentally friendly.

Fast and Reliable Networking

The D-Link GO-SW-8G 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch creates a blazing fast

network for your oce, as its Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high-speed wired

connections for up to eight PCs or other devices. The GO-SW-8G also features

QoS, which prioritizes network trac so that time-sensitive data is delivered

eciently, even during bursts of high data trac. It’s stylish, easy-to-use, and comes

IPv6-ready for a reliable network today and tomorrow.

Conserve Energy

The 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch helps you conserve energy automatically through

several methods. It automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switch to

save a substantial amount of power by cutting power usage for unused ports. It also adjusts the

amount of power supplied to a port according to the length of the connected Ethernet cable.

Environmentally-friendly

The 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch was designed with the environment in mind, and is

compliant with Energy Star Level V, as well as with the stringent CEC and MEPS regulations

that require the use of energy ecient power adapters. The switch is also built to follow RoHS

standards to minimize the use of hazardous materials, and uses recyclable packaging that

helps reduce waste, complying with the WEEE directive.
