NETGEAR GS308EPP - 8-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ managed switch, Black

The NETGEAR GS308EPP-100PES 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch (123W) is a Layer 2/Layer 3 device for network connectivity and power distribution. It features eight RJ45 copper ports operating at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. With a total switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 10 Mpps, the switch handles simultaneous data traffic across all connected devices without bottlenecks. This capacity allows administrators to segment local area networks or run data-intensive applications over standard Ethernet cabling.

The device provides a 123 W PoE+ budget across its eight ports to power hardware such as IP cameras and wireless access points. Configuration is managed via a web-based interface that includes a built-in DHCP client. Network traffic can be prioritised using Quality of Service (QoS) protocols, including WRR queue scheduling and IGMP snooping for multicast streams. Diagnostic and security controls include port mirroring, broadcast storm control, and loop protection. The black, wall-mountable chassis features a fanless design for silent operation in office environments.
