The DGS‎-1008A 8‎-Port Gigabit Switch is part of D‎-Link’s new series of SOHO devices that make use of D‎-Link’s Green Technology‎,‎ providing energy savings‎,‎ reduced heat‎,‎ and a longer product life without sacrificing performance or functionality‎.‎ It provides eight Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network and a quick way to upgrade your network to Gigabit connectivity‎.‎ An energy‎-efficient power adapter ‎(‎Energy Star Level V qualified‎)‎‎,‎ minimized use of harmful substances ‎(‎RoHS compliant‎)‎‎,‎ and recyclable packaging make this switch truly environmentally friendly

Features

Connectivity

• Eight Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for high‎-speed wired connections
• Cable Diagnostics Function notifies users of cable conditions through product LEDs

Green Ethernet Features

• Reduces power to a port when no link is detected
• Adjust power to a port by detecting the length of the connected Ethernet cable

Fast and Reliable Networking

The D‎-Link DGS‎-1008A 8‎-Port Gigabit Switch creates a blazing fast network for your office‎,‎ as its Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high‎-speed wired connections for up to eight PCs or other devices‎.‎ The DGS‎-1008A also features QoS‎,‎ which prioritizes network traffic so that time‎-sensitive data is delivered efficiently‎,‎ even during bursts of high data traffic‎.‎ It’s stylish‎,‎ easy‎-to‎-use‎,‎ and comes IPv6‎-ready for a reliable network today and tomorrow‎.‎

Conserve Energy

The 8‎-Port Gigabit Switch helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods‎.‎ It automatically powers down ports that have no link‎,‎ allowing the switch to save a substantial amount of power by cutting power usage for unused ports‎.‎ It also adjusts the amount of power supplied to a port according to the length of the connected Ethernet cable‎.‎

Environmentally‎-friendly

The 8‎-Port Gigabit Switch was designed with the environment in mind‎,‎ and is compliant with Energy Star Level V‎,‎ as well as with the stringent CEC and MEPS regulations that require the use of energy efficient power adapters‎.‎ The switch is also built to follow RoHS standards to minimize the use of hazardous materials‎,‎ and uses recyclable packaging that helps reduce waste‎,‎ complying with the WEEE directive‎.‎
