Instant Connectivity with
Reliable Performance
The NETGEAR® Gigabit Unmanaged
Switch series helps businesses costeffectively expand their network to Gigabit
speeds and higher port counts.
Highlights
Plug and Play
• The standards-based Gigabit switches
sense and adjust for network speed
and cabling type automatically. Easily
integrate into your existing Ethernet
network - no matter if it is running at
10/100Mbps or Gigabit speed
• Simple set up with no software or
confi guration needed
• Front panel LEDs keep you informed
of power status, link speed and link
activities
Traffi c Prioritization
• Prioritize mission-critical applications
such as voice and video Support
IEEE 802.1 p and DSCP-based QoS
for delivering data based on priority
and type
The GS105 and GS108 Gigabit Ethernet
switches come with 5 and 8 Gigabit
copper ports in a desktop metal case
and are wall-mountable. These switches
are energy effi cient, built to last,
High Quality and Reliable Performance
• Superior network performance at non-
blocking rate delivers true Gigabit
speed with no compromise
• Durable metal case and long product
life (shown by MTBF numbers)
Energy Effi cient
• GS105 and GS108 support the latest
Energy Effi cient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az)
standard, which reduces energy
consumption when there is light
traffi c on an active port or when there
is no link or no activity detected. It can
further save energy when a short cable
(<100m) is used. Energy savings lead
directly to cost savings in operation.
and rigorously tested to provide the
reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffi c
prioritization and jumbo frame support
allow for seamless integration with more
sophisticated networks.
Limited Lifetime* Warranty
• Industry’s leading limited lifetime*
warranty, not only on hardware but also
includes lifetime online support as well
as next-business day (NBD) replacement
support, providing customers peace-
of-mind using NETGEAR switches in
their network.
