The dlinkgo GO-SW-8E 8-Port Fast Ethernet Easy Desktop Switch allows you to quickly set

up a fast, reliable, and e cient wired network in your home or o ce. The GO-SW-8E is an

unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance small workgroup performance while

providing a high level of  exibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply

plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response

time and satisfy heavy load demands. Connect the GO-SW-8E to multiple computers to share

 les and folders, or connect it to a router to share an Internet connection.

E ortless High Speed Networking

The GO-SW-8E features easy access auto sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with a LED

indicator for each port to quickly distinguish link status and activity. These ports detect the

network speed and auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, as well as between full

and half-duplex, to get you the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your

network, for faster browsing, video streaming, and online gaming. The GO-SW-8E also supports

Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover, allowing you to connect each port directly to a server, hub, router, or

switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables.

Reliable Plug and Play Installation

The GO-SW-8E is a Plug-and-Play device that requires no con guration, so setup is simple and

hassle-free, so right away you’re easily able to connect multiple computers, share  les, music,

and video across your home or small o ce network, or even create a multi-player gaming

environment. 802.3x  ow control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the port’s

receiving bu er is full. This gives you a more reliable connection for all of your connected

devices.

GO-SW-8E 8-Port Fast Ethernet Easy Desktop Switch

Environmentally Friendly

The GO-SW-8E features D-Link Green technology, which drastically reduces

energy consumption. If there is no computer connected to a port or a

connected computer is powered o , the port will automatically enter

‘sleep mode’, greatly reducing the power used for that port without interrupting

the network connection. In addition, the switch automatically detects the

length of connected Ethernet cables and adjusts their power usage accordingly

without a ecting performance. This considerably lowers overall energy usage,

which both saves you money and helps the environment, without the need for

micro-management.

Compact and Silent

The GO-SW-8E has a sleek and compact design, so that you can place it in

any easily accessible location and have it stay out of your way. The power

connector and ports are all located at the rear of the switch allowing you to

tuck the cables away conveniently. The GO-SW-8E does not use a fan, so the

switch operates silently but e ectively, letting you watch movies streamed o

the Internet without distraction, or browse the web in peace.
