D Link DES 108 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unamanaged Metal Housing Desktop Switch

The DGS-105/108 5/8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch are ideally suited for Small Office Home Office (SOHO), Small Medium Business (SMB), and Small Medium Enterprise (SME) environments. With a durable design, silent operation, and plug-and-play functionality, the DGS-105/108 switches can be easily set up and be placed in almost any location where network connectivity is required. Support for IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Layer 2 Quality of Service (QoS), and Gigabit Ethernet connection speeds provide advanced features in a compact package.

Robust Design
The DGS-105/108 are designed with durability and performance in mind. Their sturdy metal housing ensures the product can withstand extreme temperatures and can be placed in typical industrial environments such as factories, construction and mining. They help to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components.

Integrated Networking
The DGS-105/108 switches use auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly connect Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit devices to create an integrated network. These ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX at full and half-duplex, and 1000BASE-TX at full duplex, allowing you to get the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your network.

Simplified Installation
All of the ports on the DGS-105/108 switches support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be plugged in directly to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables. In addition, the DGS-105/108 switches feature multiple front-facing, easy-to-access Ethernet ports with two colour LED indicators per port to easily distinguish link status.
