and Online Gaming Enjoyments
• Plug-and-play, stylish design
that fits home environments
• Enjoy smooth multimedia
streaming and gaming
through QoS ports with 3-level
prioritization
• Stream multimedia with
blazing-fast Gigabit speed
• Green switch design for
energy saving
The ZyXEL GS-105S/GS-108S 5/8-Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Media Switch can easily connect
multiple media devices to home networks at blazing-fast Gigabit speed simultaneously.
Moreover, the newly designed QoS ports of GS-105S/GS-108S allow smooth video streaming and
online gaming as well.
Benefits
Plug-and-play, stylish design
With easy plug-and-play, you can connect the GS-105S/GS-108S to media players, game
consoles and smart TVs to your home network without any configuration effort. With its
stylish modern look and streamlined design, the GS-105S/GS-108S fits nicely into any
home décor.
Smooth multimedia streaming and gaming
The ZyXEL GS-105S/GS-108S features QoS ports for you to assign high, medium or low
priorities for your preferred network applications. For instance, if you are a movie
enthusiast, you can connect media players or smart TVs to the high-priority ports for
smooth video streaming and the best home 3D streaming experience. If you prefer
lag-free online gaming, simply connect the game console through the high-priority QoS
port and assign media players, PC and other network devices to the medium- or low-priority QoS ports
according to your need.
Blazing-fast Gigabit speed
The GS-105S/GS-108S 10/100/1000 Mbps switch is designed for reliable high-performance media
networks 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet connections. It perfectly fulfills the demands for multimedia
streaming and online gaming.
GS-105S/GS-108S
5/8-Port Desktop Gigabit
Ethernet Media Switch
Green switch saves energy
Compliant with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, the GS-105S/GS-108S provides
power-saving benefits without compromising performance. Moreover, the GS-105S/GS-108S
automatically adjusts power consumption according to the number of active, connected network
devices and cable length. That is, fewer active connected network devices or shorter Ethernet cable
length allows the switch to consume less power.
