With eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, each capable of powering 2000Mbps of data throughput in full-duplex mode per port, the GS108T-200NAS ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch from Netgear is an ideal solution for extending network connections into conference room, labs, lobbies and department workgroups. In addition, the GS108T supports IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). It can obtain its power from either a PoE source or from an external AC power adapter. This gives an SMB flexibility when installing the switch in places where a power outlet is not present. The unit is ideal for adding basic management to your unmanaged networks or extending your managed networks.
