Zyxel GS1915-8-EU0101F - 8-Port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch, Black

The Zyxel GS1915-8-EU0101F is an 8-port Gigabit Layer 2 managed switch. It features eight Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45 ports, each supporting data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s. The switch operates at Layer 2, using a MAC address table of up to 8,000 entries for traffic routing. It offers a total switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 11.9 Mpps to maintain consistent throughput.

The unit is housed in a 250 x 104 x 27 mm black metal chassis and weighs 620 g. Its fanless design allows for silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like shared workspaces. Integrated LEDs display connection status and individual port activity. The switch is powered via a standard AC input and includes the necessary power cable. Under full load, it consumes a maximum of 4.7 W and has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,144,460 hours.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX support automatically detects the required cable type, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
• Jumbo frame support for payloads up to 9,000 bytes reduces CPU overhead and improves large file transfer efficiency.
• Copper Ethernet compatibility covers 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T standards.
• Compliance with IEEE 802.3ab and 802.3x protocols ensures interoperability with standard networking equipment.
• An internal 0.525 MB packet buffer stores incoming data bursts to prevent packet loss during heavy traffic.
