ASUS QG-U1080 - Unmanaged network switch, White

This unmanaged network switch is a plug-and-play device that requires no configuration to expand your wired network capacity. The ASUS QG-U1080 8-Port 2.5G + 2-Port 10G SFP+ switch operates at Layer 2, forwarding traffic between connected devices without administrative overhead. It provides eight RJ-45 ports that support 100, 1000, and 2500 Mbit/s connections. Two additional SFP+ slots accommodate fiber connections, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s for uplinks or high-bandwidth server links. The RJ-45 interfaces support 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 2500BASE-T cabling standards. The switch uses a 16,000-entry MAC address table to direct data to the intended device.

The white, desktop-format switch is designed for home or small office environments. Measuring 193 x 84.1 x 26 mm, it has a compact footprint that fits easily on a desk or shelf. The fanless chassis ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet workspaces. Weighing 420 g, the unit is easy to place alongside existing network hardware. Power is supplied via a 12 V DC input, and front-facing LED indicators provide visual feedback for power and link activity to assist with basic troubleshooting.

• A 59.52 Mpps forwarding rate ensures efficient packet processing across all interfaces.
• Support for 10,000-byte jumbo frames increases efficiency during large file transfers to network-attached storage.
• An 8 MB packet buffer accommodates traffic spikes to prevent data loss.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss by pausing transmission when a receiving node reaches capacity.
• Compatibility with Cat5e cabling allows you to use existing infrastructure for multi-gigabit connections.
• IEEE 802.3az compliance automatically adjusts power consumption based on network link status.
