NETGEAR MS308E-100EUS - 8-port unmanaged 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet switch, Black

The NETGEAR MS308E-100EUS 8-Port Unmanaged 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch expands wired network capacity with no configuration required. This plug-and-play device functions immediately upon connection, directing traffic across the local network. It provides eight multi-gigabit copper ports, each of which auto-negotiates link speeds to support data transfer rates up to 2.5 Gbit/s. Users can connect high-bandwidth devices, such as network-attached storage or Wi-Fi access points, directly to the switch. As a Layer 2 device, it operates without the complexity of managed software.

The desktop model is housed in a 158 x 101 x 27 mm metal chassis and weighs 430 grams. The metal exterior aids in passive cooling and protects internal components in office environments. The switch is fanless, operating at 0 dB, and can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall. Per-port LEDs provide visual confirmation of connection status and link activity. The unit has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 3.3 million hours.

• 40 Gbit/s non-blocking switching capacity supports full-speed data transfer across all ports simultaneously.
• 3.72 Mpps forwarding rate maintains throughput during high-demand usage.
• 16,000-entry MAC address table.
• Support for 12,288-byte jumbo frames to improve large file transfer efficiency between compatible servers and NAS drives.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX detection on all interfaces eliminates the need for crossover cables.
• 8.1 W maximum power consumption.
• 4.9 µs latency at 1 Gbps for time-sensitive traffic.
