Cudy GS108 - 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch, Black

The Cudy GS108 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch expands wired network capacity without requiring manual configuration. As a plug-and-play device, it integrates computers, printers, and media players directly into a local network. The switch has eight RJ45 Ethernet ports to manage traffic from multiple connected devices simultaneously. Each port supports speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s, suitable for tasks such as file sharing and high-definition streaming. Auto-negotiation ensures the hardware identifies and applies the optimal connection speed for each device. This design provides a straightforward way to add wired connections to an existing router.

Housed in a metal chassis, the switch is durable and dissipates heat passively. It can be placed on a flat surface or mounted directly to a wall. Measuring 137 x 77 x 25 mm and weighing 300 g, it fits easily onto crowded desks or into confined spaces. Front-facing LEDs indicate link, loop, and power status, providing clear feedback on active connections and operational status. The unit has a mean time between failures of 100,000 hours, supporting reliable, continuous operation.

• 16 Gbit/s switching capacity handles concurrent traffic across all ports without bottlenecking throughput.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX automatically identifies cable types, eliminating the need for crossover cables when connecting older equipment.
• Maximum power consumption of 2.75 W minimises electrical draw and operating temperatures during continuous use.
• 2.5 MB packet buffer memory and an 11.9 Mpps forwarding rate help maintain stable transmission during high-traffic periods.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss by temporarily pausing transmission when receiving nodes are overwhelmed.
• Support for 2000-byte jumbo frames improves the efficiency of large file transfers by reducing packet overhead.
