Description
The 5/8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch is tailor-made for Small Office Home Office (SOHO), Small Medium Business (SMB), and Small Medium Enterprise (SME) networking scenarios. Engineered with durability, this network switch offers silent operation and plug-and-play functionality, making it an ideal choice for convenient deployment in various locations that require reliable network connectivity. The switch’s support for IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Layer 2 Quality of Service (QoS), and Gigabit Ethernet speeds deliver advanced networking capabilities in a compact design. Built with Robust Construction The switch is encased in a sturdy metal housing, suitable for withstanding extreme temperatures, making it apt for industrial settings such as factories, construction, and mining. This robust design aids in heat dissipation and minimizes stress on internal components. Seamless Networking The switch is equipped with auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, allowing seamless integration of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit devices to form a unified network. These ports auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX at full and half-duplex, and 1000BASE-TX at full duplex, ensuring maximum network speed for each connected device. Easy Installation Every port supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for specialized cabling. Standard straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables connect directly to servers, hubs, routers, or switches. The switch also features user-friendly, front-facing Ethernet ports with two-color LED indicators to easily monitor link status. Eco-Friendly Technology This switch incorporates green technology, including IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), link status detection, and cable length detection. Energy-Efficient Ethernet minimizes power usage during low network activity, curbing costs when the network is idle. Link status detection automatically deactivates ports with no active link, conserving power when connected devices shut down or disconnect. Cable length detection adjusts port power output based on cable length, optimizing power requirements for specific installations. Advanced Traffic Management The switch includes traffic management features like IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control. The 802.1p QoS feature manages traffic across 8 priority levels to prioritize different types of traffic based on priority. Flow Control helps alleviate buffer overflow by signaling clients when the switch’s input buffer reaches capacity, ensuring a stable and reliable network connection for all devices.
