This 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is designed for the departmental and enterprise connection. Powerful and versatile， it eliminates network bottlenecks while giving users the capability to fine-tune performance. The DGS-108 has a special front access design for Ethernet ports/LEDs to for easier control of network status. Also， the metal case design keeps cool， allowing for superior performance. Additionally， the DGS-108 complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards， making it energy efficient without losing connectivity or functionality.

Integrated Network

The DGS-108 8-port Gigabit Switch uses auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports， allowing a small workgroup to flexibly connect to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet and Gigabit devices to create an integrated network. These ports detect the network speed and auto negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX at full and half-duplex，and 1000BASE-TX at full
duplex， allowing you to get the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your network.

Simplified Installation

All of the ports on the DGS-108 support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover， eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be plugged directly to a server， hub， router， or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables. In addition， the DGS-108 features multiple front， easy-to-access Ethernet ports with two color LED indicators per port to easily distinguish link status.

Flow Control for Secure Transmission

When a port reaches its receiving buffer capacity， the 802.3x flow control feature activates to minimize dropped packets， providing a more reliable connection for all of your connected devices while surfing the web， playing games， or accessing media.
