GO-SW-5GE & GO-SW-8GE
Think Green
The GO-SW-5GE/8GE 5-Port and 8-Port Gigabit Metal 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 sacricing performance
or functionality. An energy-ecient power adapter (EnergyStar Level V qualied),
minimized use of harmful substances (RoHS compliant), and recyclable packaging
make this switch truly environmentally friendly.
Conserves Energy
The GO-SW-5GE/GO-SW-8GE 5/8-Port Gigabit Metal Desktop Switch helps you conserve
energy automatically. The switch saves substantial amounts of power by cutting power
usage for unused ports or ports connected to computers that have been shut down.

Environmentally Friendly
The GO-SW-5GE/GO-SW-8GE 5/8-port Gigabit Metal 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 ecient power adapters. The switch is also built to follow RoHS standards
to minimize use of hazardous materials, and uses recyclable packaging that helps
reduce waste, complying with the WEEE directive.
Gigabit Connection for Home and SOHO
The GO-SW-5GE/GO-SW-8GE oers an economical way for SOHO and small to
medium businesses (SMB) to benet from the increased bandwidth of Gigabit
Ethernet. It provides ve/eight Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network
and a quick way to upgrade your network to Gigabit connectivity.
