This 10/100 Mbit/s switch is designed to increase the performance of small workgroups while offering high flexibility. Users can easily connect any device via Plug & Play to a 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s network, enhancing bandwidth and improving response times. Connect to multiple computers to share files and folders, or connect to a router to share an internet connection. The switch features auto-sensing 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports with LED indicators for connection status and activity. It supports automatic MDI/MDIX detection for direct connection to servers, hubs, routers, or switches using uncrossed twisted-pair ethernet cables. Installation is simple with its Plug & Play functionality, requiring no configuration. The 802.3x flow control minimizes packet loss for reliable connections. The GO-SW-8E incorporates D-Link Green Technology for reduced energy consumption. Ports automatically enter 'sleep mode' when no computer is connected or the connected computer is turned off, significantly lowering power usage without interrupting the network connection. The switch also adjusts power consumption based on the length of connected Ethernet cables, further saving energy without compromising performance. Its elegant, compact, and fanless design makes it quiet and unobtrusive, ideal for any location. All connections are located on the back for tidy cable management. This text is machine translated.
