Netgear GS108T ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch

With eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, each capable of powering 2000Mbps of data throughput in full-duplex mode per port, the GS108T-200NAS ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch from Netgear is an ideal solution for extending network connections into conference room, labs, lobbies and department workgroups.

In addition, the GS108T supports IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). It can obtain its power from either a PoE source or from an external AC power adapter. This gives an SMB flexibility when installing the switch in places where a power outlet is not present. The unit is ideal for adding basic management to your unmanaged networks or extending your managed networks.

Intelligent

The GS108T provides cost-efficient solutions that enable SMB customers to better manage their network. Included are performance monitoring, port configuration, VLAN for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth, IGMP snooping for facilitating multicast applications, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization

Advanced Quality of Service

Priority queuing ensures that high-priority traffic gets delivered efficiently, even during congestion from high-traffic bursts. Companies implementing network telephony or video conferencing, for example, need to be able to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other real-time applications over less latency-sensitive traffic to ensure reliability and quality. The ability to prioritize traffic ensures quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite increasing traffic loads. The ProSafe Gigabit Smart Switch provides an extensive set of QoS features:

802.1p-based prioritization

Layer 3-based prioritization

Rate limiting

Enhanced Security

These Gigabit Smart Switches have advanced features that provide more robust security to SMBs. These include:

802.1x for authentication

ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based on MAC or IP addresses

Netgear Green

Up to 60% lower power consumption

Auto power-down mode conserves energy when a port is not connected

Less transmit power when the cable is under 32.8′ (10 m)

Packaging manufactured with at least 80% recycled material
