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.
Potent
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.
Capable
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.
Trim
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.
Easy-going
LEDs embedded in RJ-45 jacks make for easy monitoring. Provides noiseless operation. Supports PC or Mac® O/S (operating system).
