The dlinkgo GO-SW-8E 8-Port Fast Ethernet Easy Desktop Switch allows you
to quickly set up a fast, reliable, and efficient wired network in your home or
office. The GO-SW-8E is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to
enhance small workgroup performance while providing a high level of
flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any
port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost
response time and satisfy heavy load demands. Connect the GO-SW-8E to
multiple computers to share files and folders, or connect it to a router to
share an Internet connection.
Effortless High Speed Networking
The GO-SW-8E features easy access auto sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
ports with a LED indicator for each port to quickly distinguish link status and
activity. These ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, as well as between full and half-duplex, to get you
the maximum speed possible for each device connected to your network, for
faster browsing, video streaming, and online gaming. The GO-SW-8E also
supports Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover, allowing you to connect each port directly
to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair
Ethernet cables.
Reliable Plug and Play Installation
The GO-SW-8E is a Plug-and-Play device that requires no configuration, so
setup is simple and hassle-free, so right away youre easily able to connect
multiple computers, share files, music, and video across your home or small
office network, or even create a multi-player gaming environment. 802.3x flow
control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the ports receiving
buffer is full. This gives you a more reliable connection for all of your
connected devices.
Environmentally Friendly
The GO-SW-8E features D-Link Green technology, which drastically reduces
energy consumption. If there is no computer connected to a port or a
connected computer is powered off, the port will automatically enter sleep
mode, greatly reducing the power used for that port without interrupting the
network connection. In addition, the switch automatically detects the length of
connected Ethernet cables and adjusts their power usage accordingly without
affecting performance. This considerably lowers overall energy usage, which
both saves you money and helps the environment, without the need for
micro-management.
Compact and Silent
The GO-SW-8E has a sleek and compact design, so that you can place it in any
easily accessible location and have it stay out of your way. The power
connector and ports are all located at the rear of the switch allowing you to
tuck the cables away conveniently. The GO-SW-8E does not use a fan, so the
switch operates silently but effectively, letting you watch movies streamed off
the Internet without distraction, or browse the web in peaceHigh-Speed
