GS108

8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

10/100/1000 Mbps

Power Up Your Small Network to Gigabit Speeds

Now you can have a powerful, high-speed network on a small scale. NETGEAR's

GS108 Gigabit Ethernet Switch lets you build a system that provides a full, dedicated

1000, 100, or 10 Mbps connection so you can move very large files across your

network instantly. The GS108 also lets you painlessly integrate 10, 100, and 1000

Mbps devices. This potent switch is packed with ease-of-use features to simplify your

workday experience. It's compact design fits neatly into small work spaces and, since

it's self-cooling without a fan, it runs silently and unobtrusively.

Moves huge files fast! Features a high-speed, auto-switching 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
connection. And because Copper Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you can get up
to 2000 Mbps on each port.

Integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network. Every port automatically
senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, while Auto UplinkTMtechnology
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.

LEDs embedded in each of the 8 RJ-45 jacks make for easy monitoring. Space-saving
dimensions are ideal for desktop or wall mounting in home and small office environments.
And it runs quietly, self-cooling without an internal fan.

Strong, durable metal case securely protects the switch’s working parts. The GS108 is made
to last and NETGEAR backs it with a solid warranty: switch - 5 years, power supply - 2 years.
