Gigabit Power, 10/100 Simplicity
For a high-speed network on a small scale, nothing delivers likes these compact powerhouses.
Equipped with up to eight auto-speed-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps UTP ports, these affordable
switches give your network the capacity to handle huge workloads. If your network is configured
to support Jumbo Frames, ProSafe GS100 switches will forward them, as well as honoring priority
tags at both the layer 2 and layer 3 level. This means they moves very large files across your
network instantly, and keep the high priority traffic moving. Packed with ease-of-use features
to simplify your networking experience, its trim design makes it an easy fit for a desk or
mounted on a wall. The durable metal chassis protects interior working parts and the fan-less
design results in silent operation. Matched with NETGEAR’s thorough testing, the ProSafe
GS100 switches provide long-lasting performance you can count on.
Moves huge files fast! Features up to eight high-speed, auto-switching 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
connections. And because Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you get up to 2000 Mbps
on each port. The GS100 Series provides Jumbo Frame support up to 9,000 byte frames.
Integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network. Every port automatically senses
the right speed and full/half duplex mode, and Auto Uplink™technology automatically adjusts for
straight-through or crossover cables.
Sized to save space, this sturdy metal switch is compact and fits easily on a desk or mounts
on a wall, making it ideal for home and small office environments.
LEDs embedded in RJ-45 jacks make for easy monitoring. Provides noiseless operation.
Supports PC or Mac®O/S (operating system).
