D-Link DGS-108GL/E - 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch, Black

The D-Link DGS-108GL/E 8-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch requires no configuration to expand a wired network. It is a plug-and-play device, meaning you can connect your hardware without needing any software setup. The switch features eight RJ-45 ports for computers, storage arrays, and network receivers. Each connection supports data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbit/s for fast local file sharing. Network capacity increases as soon as you connect the unit to an existing router or gateway.

Housed in a black metal chassis, the desktop model measures 140 x 67 x 26 mm and offers a durable, compact design. Its fanless architecture ensures silent operation in offices or residential settings. The unit sits unobtrusively alongside other networking equipment, and it features a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,402,430 hours. Powered via a standard 5 V DC-in jack, the 240-gram switch is weighted to remain stable even when fully cabled.

• 16 Gbit/s switching capacity handles concurrent traffic across all active connections without bottlenecks.
• 4,000-entry MAC address table supports active communication paths in local networks.
• Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption during periods of low link activity.
• Includes an RJ-45 LAN cable for immediate connection to your primary internet gateway.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control helps prevent dropped packets during heavy traffic to maintain signal integrity.
• Legacy 10/100 Mbit/s compatibility ensures older Ethernet hardware connects at its maximum native rate.
