Gigabit Connections for Media-Rich Applications
The GS-105/108 supports gigabit connections, which
provide ultra high bandwidth for media-rich application
today and years ahead.
Simple-to-Use
The GS-105/108 features auto-sensing 100/1000 Mbps
ports that automatically detect the speed and duplex mode
of attached servers, workstations, or hubs, making
installation quick and easy.
Flow Control for Congestion Prevention
The IEEE 802.3x standard-based flow control allows the
GS-105/108 to prevent pending traffic congestion by
informing the attached devices to stop transmission. When
the switch detects that the buffer for each port is nearly
full, it requests the attached devices to wait until it can
accept new data.
Auto-MDI/MDI-X
With the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature, the GS-105/108
automatically adjusts the transmit/receive pins of a port
based on the signal detected on the wire from the attached
device, making crossover cables a thing of the past.
Benefits
ZyXEL’s GS-105/108 is a 5/8-port 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switch. It provides high flexibility and high bandwidth
connectivity to servers, workstation and other attached devices.
The GS-105/108 fits users who want higher bandwidth without complicated management features. It can be installed in
SOHO application to establish connections to main servers. GS-105/108 is a cost-effective solution where high-
performance, reliable connections to a desktop are more important than management consideration.
The ease of plug-n-play, outstanding price/performance ratio and flexible design make the GS-105/108 a simple,
affordable choice for a wide range of applications.
