SOHO Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switches
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.
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
(except GS348)
• Auto-negotiation for automatic
connection at the highest common
speed between switch and an end
device
With these unmanaged plug-and-play
switches, you can expand your network
connections to multiple devices instantly.
• Non-blocking switching architecture
for maximum throughput at wire
speed
• 802.1p QoS for trafc/frame
prioritization
• Plug-and-play; no setup required
• Durable and rugged metal case
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.
• Desktop or wall-mountable (5, 8,
16-port models); GS324 is desktop,
wall-mountable, and rack-mountable
(rack-mount kit included); GS348 is 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
