Expanding Wired Connectivity for
SOHO Networks
NETGEAR 300 Series Gigabit Ethernet
Unmanaged Switches provide easy,
reliable, and affordable network
connectivity for home and small ofces.
With these unmanaged plug-and-play
switches, you can expand your network
connections to multiple devices instantly.
Highlights
• Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need
for crossover cables
• LED indicators for ease of use
• E n e r g y - e f c i e n t t e c h n o l o g y f o r p o w e r
savings
• Fanless design for silent operation
• Auto-negotiation for automatic
connection at the highest common
speed between switch and an end
device
• Non-blocking switching architecture
for maximum throughput at wire
speed
The GS305P/GS305PP and GS308P with
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) provides
power and data from a single Ethernet
(CAT-5) cable to devices such as IP
cameras, VoIP/Internet-based phones,
wireless access points, etc.
• 802.1p QoS for trafc/frame
prioritization
• Plug-and-play; no setup required
• Durable and rugged metal case
• Desktop or wall-mountable; GS324
is also rack-mountable (rack-mount kit
included)
• Ideal for small ofce and home
networks
• Standards-based technology ensures
interoperability with any standards based devices in the existing network
Just step up to GS316, GS324 or GS348
directly to avoid congestion due to
stacking up lower port count switches and
be ready for future expansion.
• Power up to 4 PoE-capable devices
(GS305P/GS305PP and GS308P only)
• 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE) for
IP cameras, VoIP/Internet-based
phones, wireless access points
(GS308P only)
