NETGEAR GS308 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Fanless, Desktop/Wall-Mount
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NETGEAR GS308 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308-300UKS) - 3 Years Local Warranty
Plug-and-Play Gigabit for 8 Devices
The NETGEAR GS308 is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch from NETGEAR's Essentials range. No configuration is necessary — connect PCs, printers, NAS, IP phones and access points and every port runs at up to 1000 Mbps with Auto Uplink.
Smart Energy Savings
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet cuts power consumption, and the switch draws just 3.04 W maximum while delivering 16 Gbps of non-blocking bandwidth.
Built to Last, Designed for Zero Noise
A solid, compact metal case and a passively cooled fanless design (0 dBA) make the GS308 suited to offices, classrooms and homes. It sits on a desk or mounts on a wall.
