The ZyXEL GS1100 Series is the best solution for instant Gigabit connectivity in oce
environments demanding silent operation and better energy eciency. With power-saving
functions, Gigabit Ethernet and a fanless design, the GS1100 Series provides plug-and-play
simplicity for high-bandwidth network applications.
The ZyXEL GS1100 Series consists of four unmanaged switches: the GS1100-8HP, GS1100-16,
GS1100-24 and GS1100-24E. The GS1100-16 and GS1100-24E feature 16 and 24 GbE ports. The
GS1100-24 is a 24-port Gigabit switch with 2 additional open Gigabit SFP slots, while the GS11008HP is an 8-port Gigabit switch that complies with the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) Plus
standard, providing 4 PoE ports with up to 30 watts per port.
Benets
Green networking
The GS1100 Series not only oers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for next-generation network
applications, but also power-saving functions for better energy eciency. Capable of dynamically
adjusting power output according to trac, active links and cable length, the GS1100 Series can reduce
energy consumption for lowered operating costs.
Trac detection — Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) compliance
The IEEE 802.3az Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) feature automatically detects network trac and adjusts
power consumption dynamically, enabling the switch to reduce power consumption during low link
utilization periods. The GS1100 Series comes with IEEE 802.3az on/o button to help reduce power
consumption. This button allows users to keep the best performance without transmit impacted or to
have green support of Energy Ecient Ethernet mode with a simple push of a button.
Inactive link detection
The inactive link detection function automatically reduces power usage when inactive links or devices
are detected. The ZyXEL GS1100 Series can adjust power consumption according to link status and the
number of active network devices.
Cable length detection
This green feature enables the switch to automatically detect the length of connected Ethernet cables
and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less power it consumes.

Fanless design
The complete GS1100 Series comes in a fanless design that ensures silent operation in small or quiet
oce environments. The GS1100-8HP PoE model is specically designed with an external power adapter
that eliminates the need for an additional fan to cool down the device, making it perfect for quiet PoE
deployments.

Gigabit to the desktop
The ZyXEL GS1100 Series oers small oces 8/16/24-port Gigabit connectivity at the most competitive price. Additionally, the GS1100-24 model is
equipped with 2 extra SFP slots, supported dual rate (100 M and GbE speed) that enable ber optic connections for long-distance deployments. With
Gigabit network performance and high cost-eectiveness, the GS1100 Series is the ideal solution for bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-
resolution photo transmission, video/audio streaming and server farm connections.
Freedom of installation via PoE (GS1100-8HP)
The GS1100-8HP supports the IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus standard to ease the installation of network devices in challenging spaces such as ceilings or walls.
The power supply of up to 30 watts per port allows the GS1100-8HP to power PoE-enabled WLAN APs, VoIP phones and IP surveillance cameras through
CAT-5 cables of less than 100 meters (300 feet) in length. With the ZyXEL GS1100-8HP, there is no need for extra power adapters in installing PoE devices in
dicult locations. This feature helps enterprises reduce installation time and cost when there are many such devices on the network.
