Benefits

Compact, Elegant Design

The ZyXEL ES-105S/ES-108S comes with 5/8 Fast Ethernet ports designed for easy home network
extension, while the compact, elegant design and silent operation also fit any home environment
easily. The optional wall-mount installation also allows users to free up the room space.

Easy Extension of Home Network

The ES-105S/ES-108S with plastic housing offers a cost-effective Fast Ethernet solution for users to
easily extend home networks and to fulfill their online gaming, multimedia transferring and
streaming needs. The plug-and-play design allows users to easily connect network devices such as
PCs, network storages and print servers to the home network without manual configuration
involved.
With the N-way auto-negotiation function, the ES-105S/ES-108S connects to network counterparts
with highest possible network speed and activates full-duplex mode automatically, while the store-
and-forward service brings low latency and error-free packet delivery.

Energy Saving via Link Status and Cable Length Detection

The ES-105S/ES-108S features Green solutions that provide power-saving benefits without
compromising performance. The ES-105S/ES-108S automatically reduces power usage by detecting
any shutdown network device or inactive link. In other words, power consumption of the ES-
105S/ES-108S adjusts usage according to the number of active network devices.
The ES-105S/ES-108S can also detect the length of connected Ethernet cables and adjust power
usage accordingly. The shorter the Ethernet cable length is, the less power it consumes.
