Tripp-Lite NG8-1 | 8-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Metal Enclosure

The energy-efficient NG8-1 network switch connects up to eight devices, such as computers, routers, printers and servers, to a Gigabit Ethernet network and allows them to communicate with each other. It’s recommended for your home network, small office or data center, workgroup or creative production environment. It helps you share large bandwidth-intensive files, such as CAD drawings and videos, at Gigabit (1000 Mbps/1 Gbps) speeds, improving efficiency and cutting costly downtime

The NG8-1 features eight twisted-pair RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX functionality, so crossover cabls and uplink ports are not needed for connections to PCs, routers and other switches. No configuration is required, so you can have your Gigabit network up and running immediately. IEEE 802.3x flow control (full duplex) and back pressure (half duplex) allow smooth transmission of large files.

The NG8-1 supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards by automatically shifting unused ports into a low-power state without interrupting nework connections. It consumes very little input power-just 2.75W. It also meets IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3i and 802.3u standards.
