More Convenience.The DGS-108 D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch offers an economical way for SOHO and small and medium businesses to benefit from the increased bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet. It provides eight Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network and a quick way to upgrade your network to Gigabit connectivity.Online games, 4k video streaming, large file downloads - nothing beats wired EthernetSmaller switches are great for advanced home users that would prefer to not connect everything through WiFi and congest their network. This switch functions like a powerstrip - one cable turns into multiple. Run a single cable from the router and then turn that cable to multiple gadgets.Effortless Gigabit NetworkingPlug-and-play makes it easy to instantly create a network connected to the internet, without fiddling with any configurations whatsoever.Gigabit Ethernet transfer speeds make it ideal for transferring files quickly and online gaming. With front, easy-to-access Ethernet ports with two colour LED light indicators per port to make it easy to distinguish the link status. The switch features QoS, which organizes and prioritizes time-sensitive and important data for efficient delivery, allowing for smooth streaming media, VoIP calling, and online gaming.Cables DiagnosticsThe D-Link Cable Diagnostics Function enables users to be instantly aware of cable conditions through the LED display on the front panel.Users can determine whether the pin connections of their cable connectors are correct, facilitating prompt network troubleshooting if required.IGMP SnoopingWhen Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is enabled, the DGS-108 listens to IGMP conversations between hosts and routers and maintains a map of exactly which links need IP multicast streams, resulting in greater efficiency and smoother performance.Any links that do not need multicasts can be filtered, so you’re always in control of which ports specifically receive multicast traffic.Think GreenThis switch saves energy and reduces heat, which in turn extends its product life without sacrificing performance or functionality.The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which can detect when a connected computer is shut down or when there is no Ethernet traffic and will proceed to power down the idle port, saving a substantial amount of power. In addition, the switch can also save energy by detecting the length of the cable connected to a port and using only as much power as is required. Both of these features work together to help you save power automatically.Compact and SilentDesigned with durability and performance in mind.Its sturdy metal housing ensures the product can withstand wider operating by helping to dissipate heat and reduce stress on internal components.
