8 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

For a high-speed network on a small scale, nothing delivers like these stylish powerhouses. These fast, easy, and affordable Gigabit switches gives your home network the maximum capacity to handle huge bandwidth. Packed with ease-of-use features to simplify your networking experience, their sleek design makes them look great on a desktop – either flat or in the provided stand. The GS605 and GS608 move very large files such as high-end multimedia, gaming, Internet access, and other speed-intensive applications across your network instantly, and because they are standards-based, they painlessly integrate existing
10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on your network. The fan-less design results in silent operation allowing you to focus on your game or relax to your music. Matched with NETGEAR's thorough testing, the GS600 switches provide long-lasting performance you can count on.

Patent
Moves huge files fast! Features 5 or 8 high-speed, auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. And because Copper Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you can get up to 2000 Mbps on each port.

Smart
Seamlessly integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network and will honor Layer 2 priority tags. Every port automatically senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, and Auto Uplink™ technology automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.

Stylish
The sleek design looks great on a desktop whether the switches rest on their feet or on their edge, making it ideal for home and small office environments.

Easy Going
LEDs make for easy monitoring while no fans make for noiseless operation. Compatible with major network operating systems whether it's PC or Mac® OS.
