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.
