The G1005D/G1008D 5/8-Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Switch,
mini and exquisite, is especially suitable for small-sized
networking. It provides 5/8 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation
ports and supports Auto MDI/MDIX. These Gigabit ports can be
used not only as ordinary ports, but as Uplink ports connected to
other networking devices. You can replace the 10/100Mbps
switch with the G1005D/G1008D to resolve the bottleneck
issues of server terminal connectivity, because the speed at each
port can be up to 2000Mbps in full-duplex mode. It’s the best
choice for you to upgrade from the normal 10/100Mbps to
1000Mbps. Moreover, its easy setup and no network
management will benefit you a lot. So you can select this Gigabit
Switch as a prime switch to improve the speed between different
departments and servers.
