with Decent Performance for
Small-group Networks
The ZyXEL Switch ES1100 Series is designed for SMBs to boost business network
performance and efficiency. It enables businesses to enter the world of networking
connectivity without the need for complicated management. The Series provides not only
plug-and-play simplicity for high-bandwidth connectivity but also the N-way
Auto-negotiation functions to connect its network counterparts with the highest possible
data speed as well as to activate the duplex mode automatically. The ES1100 Series is Ideal
for typical noise-sensitive office environments for its superior energy efficiency and
Ethernet connectivity.
The ES1100 Series consists of four Fast Ethernet switches and two Power over Ethernet (PoE)
switches: the ZyXEL ES1100-16, ES1100-24, ES1100-24E and ES1100-24G; ES1100-8P and
ES1100-16P. The desktop design of ZyXEL ES1100-8P/16P/16/24E switch is ideal for SB or
SOHO users seeking reliable network connectivity that fits into rack environment easily,
while the ES1100-24/24G is designed for 19" racks, making it easy to be deployed in
standard wiring closets.
Benefits
Green networking
The environment-aware ES1100 Series offers 10/100M Ethernet speeds critical to the
next-generation network applications, and it also provides power-saving functions to reduce
energy consumption for lower operating cost.
Traffic detection — IEEE Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliance (ES1100-16/24/24E)
The feature automatically detects network traffics and adjusts power consumption accordingly in
a dynamic manner. It reduces power consumption during the low link utilization periods.
Inactive link detection
The power usage adjustment feature automatically reduces power usage when any shut down
network device or inactive link is detected. That is, power consumption of the Series can be
adjusted according to the link status or the number of active network devices when possible.
Cable length detection
The devices equipped with this green feature can automatically detect the length of connected
Ethernet cables and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less power it
consumes.
