NETGEAR GS108X - 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch with 1 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplink, Grey

The NETGEAR GS108X-100EUS is an 8-port gigabit unmanaged switch featuring one 10G SFP+ uplink. It operates as a Layer 2 device and requires no software configuration. The switch includes eight 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ-45 ports for standard wired connections and one SFP+ slot for 10 Gbit/s uplinks to core network hardware. Designed for plug-and-play installation, the device has a 36 Gbit/s switching capacity, a 41.664 Mpps forwarding rate, and a 16,000-entry MAC address table.

The switch is housed in a metal casing and measures 235 x 100.8 x 27 mm, with a weight of 575 g. As a fanless unit, it operates silently. It can be placed on a desktop or mounted directly to a wall. LED indicators on the front panel provide status updates for power, connection speed, and activity. The device has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 4,802,599 hours and a maximum power draw of 5.7 W.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX support eliminates the need for crossover cables by detecting the connection type automatically.
• Jumbo frame support handles payloads up to 9,728 bytes to improve efficiency during large file transfers.
• IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes latency-sensitive traffic on the local network.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during periods of network congestion.
• Eight internal hardware queues process traffic streams to maintain stable connections.
• An integrated 0.768 MB packet buffer stores incoming data to manage traffic bursts.
