Strong SW8000M - 8-port Gigabit unmanaged desktop switch, Black

This unmanaged switch requires no software configuration; it is a plug-and-play solution for expanding wired capacity. The Strong SW8000M 8-Port Gigabit Metal Desktop Switch connects multiple Ethernet devices to a local network. Its eight RJ45 ports provide connections for computers, storage drives, or media consoles. Each port automatically negotiates connection speeds, supporting data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbps. As the switch has no management interface, it begins forwarding traffic as soon as a cable is connected, offering a simple way to increase the number of available network ports.

Housed in a metal chassis, this desktop model is durable and dissipates heat effectively. Measuring 138 x 78 x 25 mm, it fits discreetly on a desk or shelf. Integrated wall mounts allow for alternative placement, helping to organise cables and clear space. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making the unit suitable for quiet office environments. Front-facing LEDs indicate power and port status for quick visual monitoring. At 240 grams, the switch is light enough for easy installation on standard surfaces.

• 16 Gbit/s switching capacity supports concurrent high-speed transfers across all ports without dropping packets.
• 7.44 Mpps forwarding rate ensures rapid data delivery across the network.
• 15,000-byte jumbo frame support improves large file transfer efficiency by reducing network overhead.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX functionality eliminates the need for crossover cables by automatically detecting the connection type for each device.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control improves reliability by momentarily pausing transmission when a receiving buffer is full.
• 2,000-entry MAC address table supports direct routing in busy office setups.
