ProSAFE 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Easy-Mount Switch GS408EPP

Hardware Features

The switch includes the following key hardware features:
• The switch provides eight (8) Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ (802.3at) RJ-45 ports.
• 16 Gbps switching fabric (duplex mode, all ports line-rate).
• Industry-unique chassis for desktop operation, wall operation, rack-mounting in a wiring
closet or equipment room, or attachable almost anywhere using the Easy-Mount system.
• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:
IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)
-
- IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
- IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
- IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
- IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
- IEEE 802.1af (PoE)
- IEEE 802.1at (PoE+)
• AutoSensing and autonegotiating capabilities for all ports.
• Auto Uplink technology supported on all ports.
• Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The
table contains up to 8K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
• Store-and-forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.
• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
• Active flow control to minimize packet loss and frame drops.
• Half-duplex backpressure control.
• Per-port status LEDs and system status LEDs.
• NETGEAR green power-saving features:
- Energy efficiency mode that fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3az standard
- Per-port automatic change to a lower power mode when the port link is down
• Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE+).
