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.
