Benets
Plug-and-play, stylish design
With the easy plug-and-play features, you can connect the ZyXEL GS-105S v2/108S v2 to VoIP, media
players, game consoles, TV set-top box or Web browsing devices to your home network without any
conguration eort. The stylish modern look and streamlined design also make the GS-105S v2/108S v2
ts nicely in the house.
Bi-color LED indicators for Ethernet port status
The ZyXEL GS-105S v2/GS-108S v2 features auto-sensing function and front Gigabit Ethernet ports
with easy-to-understand LED indicators, which allows users to quickly check link and activity status at a
glance.
Smooth multimedia streaming and gaming
The ZyXEL GS-105S v2/GS-108S v2 features QoS ports for users to assign high, medium and low priorities
for preferred network applications. For instance, you can connect VoIP or media players to the high-
priority ports for simultaneous high-quality voice and the multimedia streaming experience at home. For
online gaming, simply connect the game console through the medium-priority QoS port while plugging
PC and laptops for Web browsing to the low-priority QoS ports according to your need.
Blazing-fast Gigabit data transmission
The ZyXEL GS-105S v2/108S v2 10/100/1000 Mbps switch is designed to provide reliable high-
performance media network connectivity 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. It perfectly fullls the
demands for multimedia streaming and online gaming at the same time.

Green Ethernet for energy saving
Compliant with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Ecient Ethernet standard as “Green Ethernet”, the ZyXEL GS-
105S v2/108S v2 provides power-saving benets without compromising performance. Moreover, the
GS-105S v2/GS-108S v2 automatically detects power consumption according to the number of active
connected network devices and cable length. With fewer active connected network devices or shorter
Ethernet cable length, the switches will consume less power accordingly.
