Cost-effective Gigabit Solution for SOHO and Department Networking

PLANET GSD-1603 Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides 16 RJ45 10/100/1000Mbps ports

for high-speed network connectivity. It can automatically identify and determine the

suitable transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached devices with its 16

Gigabit ports that support 9K jumbo frame feature. Therefore, the GSD-1603 can handle

extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone

or high-power servers.

• Integrated address look-up engine, supporting 8K

absolute MAC addresses

• 9K jumbo packet support

• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN packet transparent support

• IEEE 802.3x ow control for full duplex operation and

backpressure for half duplex operation

• Hardware based 10/100BASE-TX, half/full duplex and

1000BASE-T full duplex mode, ow control and auto-

negotiation

• Automatic address learning and address aging

• Supports CSMA/CD protocol

Hardware Features

• Made of metal, desktop size and wall-mount design

• LED indicators for system power, per port Link/Act

• 12V DC, 1A external power adapter

• FCC, CE Class B compliant

Energy Saving

The GSD-1603 incorporates two advanced green networking technologies and is able to

provide power saving up to 40% less energy but maintains high performance efciently.

(1) Hibernation Link Down power saving

The Hibernation Link Down power saving goes beyond IEEE specifications to

automatically lower power consumption for a given port when it is not linked. With the

Hibernation Link Down power saving technology, the GSD-1603 will automatically adjust

power usage of the ports that are shut down or not connected to network device.

(2) Intelligent scales power based on cable length

Intelligent scales power, the other technology adopted, is an intelligent algorithm that actively determines the appropriate power level based on cable length.

When the GSD-1603 is connected with Ethernet cable shorter than 20m, a device can obtain maximum power saving because the GSD-1603 would

automatically detect the Ethernet cable length and diminish power usage. The connected device can substantially reduce the overall power consumption,

which makes a signicant contribution to energy saving.

Stable and High Performance Switch Architecture

The GSD-1603 has an 8K MAC address table, featuring high performance switch architecture capable of providing the non-blocking 32Gbps switch fabric

and wire-speed throughput as high as 23.8Mpps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.

Besides, the 802.3x full-duplex flow control function of the GSD-1603 enables routers and servers to be directly connected to the switch for wire-speed

packet transfer performance without the risk of packet loss.

Flexible Desktop Size and Fanless Design

The GSD-1603 is the standard metal model to t into a space-limited environment. Designed with compact size, fanless and noiseless features, the GSD-

1603 is able to operate stably and quietly in any environment without affecting its performance.

Plug & Play

All RJ45 copper interfaces of the GSD-1603 support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ45 Category 5, 5e or 6

cables. They support standard auto-MDI/MDI-X feature which can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight-

through or crossover cables.
