The DES-1008D 8-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Desktop Switch is an 8-port
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switch that allows you to quickly set up a wired
network. Connect the DES-1008D to multiple computers together to share files
and folders, or connect it to a router to share an Internet connection.
Auto-Sensing 10/100 Ports
The DES-1008D uses auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps ports, allowing a small
workgroup to flexibly connect to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices to create
an integrated network. These ports detect the network speed and
auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, as well as between full and
half-duplex, allowing you to get the maximum speed possible for each device
connected to your network.
Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover
All ports support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for
crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be plugged directly to a
server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair
Ethernet cables.
Flow Control for Secure Transmission
802.3x flow control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the port’s
receiving buffer is full. This gives you a more reliable connection for all
of your connected devices.
Think Green
The D-Link 8-port 10/100 Switch is part of D-Link’s new series of SOHO
devices that make use of D-Link’s Green Technology, providing energy savings,
reduced heat, and a longer product life without sacrificing performance or
functionality. An energy-efficient power adapter (EnergyStar Level V
qualified), minimized use of harmful substances (RoHS compliant), and
recyclable packaging make this switch truly environmentally friendly. The
switch helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods. It
automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switch to
save substantial amounts of power by cutting power usage for unused ports or
ports connected to computers that have been shut down.
