Optimal Solution for Energy Saving and Gigabit High Performance

PLANET Green Networking Switch-GSD-804 is an ideal solution in line with the energy-

saving trend worldwide. The GSD-804 is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, bringing both

benefits of energy saving and Gigabit wire speed performance. It is specially designed

for home networking, SOHOs and enterprises.

Energy Saving

The GSD-804 uses new engine that provides power saving up to 40% less energy but

maintains high performance efficiently. It incorporates two advanced Green Networking

technologies:

• Hibernation Link Down power saving

• Intelligent scales power based on cable length

The Hibernation Link Down power saving goes beyond IEEE specifications to

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

Link Down power saving technology, the GSD-804 will automatically adjust power usage

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

• Hardware-based 10/100Mbps, half / full duplex and 1000Mbps

full duplex mode, ow control and auto-negotiation

• Features Store-and-Forward mode with wire-speed ltering and

forwarding rates

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

pressure for half duplex operation

• Integrated address look-up engine, supporting 8K absolute

MAC addresses

• 9K Jumbo packet size

• Power saving ability for Green networking

• Automatic address learning and address aging

• Supports CSMA/CD protocol

Hardware

• Made from plastic, desktop size and wall-mount design

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

• 5V DC, 1A external power adapter

• FCC, CE Class B compliant

GSD-804

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-

804 is connected with Ethernet cable shorter than 20m, a device can obtain maximum

power saving because the GSD-804 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.

Leading Home, SOHO and Workgroup Users to High-speed Networking Generation

The GSD-804 is designed with modern plastic compact housing and easy to deploy high speed Gigabit networking in home or SOHO applications.

Providing 16Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSD-804 can handle an extremely large amount of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high

capacity servers. The GSD-804 provides 8K MAC address table and wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data

throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially for the network to be upgraded to a Gigabit environment.

Plug & Play

All RJ-45 copper interfaces of the GSD-804 support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 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 or

crossover cables.

Product Application

Backbone Switch

The GSD-804 can directly connect to department Switches or backbone servers. With up to 16 Gigabit per second of non-blocking switch fabric, the GSD-

804 can be used to build a Gigabit high-bandwidth switched network quickly and easily.

Home/SOHO High-speed Network Center

The GSD-804 Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides the best solution of high-speed Internet environment demanded by SOHO / Home and Power users. The

GSD-804 accelerates the speed of data transmission between devices without worrying about the delay of high quality multimedia display. In aspect of home

use, the GSD-804 integrates the speeds of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps which can fulll your demands of transmitting high quality multimedia, games and other

high-speed Internet applications.
