What is the GS108MX Switch?
As the needs of businesses continue to grow with increasing number of connected devices, they require the right technology to support them without breaking the bank. With this in mind, NETGEAR is launching its latest unmanaged switch, the GS108MX, featuring one 10G/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port for non-blocking uplink. The switch is an energy-efficient solution, which offers ongoing cost savings on top of its affordable price point.
10Gb / Multi-Gig Uplink Switch Use Cases:
Today’s workforce is becoming increasingly complex with new technologies and devices constantly added to network infrastructures and employees bringing multiple personal devices, such as smartphones and tablets, into the office. For many, this means they have outgrown the basic Ethernet connections on their router. The GS108MX meets these new demands by seamlessly connecting to routers(such as the NETGEAR PR60X), or core switches. It delivers robust networking capabilities without sacrificing quality. With minimal management requirement, it is easy to set up and use, making it ideal for companies without dedicated IT support.
In addition to the 10G/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port, the switch comes with eight 1G ports that provide gigabit speed to overcome the Ethernet overload often created by too many connected devices, ensuring the connection is neither slowed down nor interrupted.
GS108MX Technical Specifications:
Additional technical specifications include:
- 8x Gigabit Ethernet ports for high bandwidth devices – Connect devices instantly and give each device the Gigabit speed they need.
- 1x Multi-Gig Uplink – No network bottlenecks thanks to the 10 Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit uplinks.
- Plug-and-play, automatic connectivity to your router – No need for an IT expert or a complicated user manual, just plug-and-play!
- Flexible mounting options (desktop or wall mount) – Adapts to your needs and configuration in a home or business environment.
- LED to indicate activity on each port – Check port activity directly on the switch for network activity status.
- Auto-negotiation for automatic connection at the highest common speed between switch and end device – Get the best of your device connectivity automatically.
The GS108MX is aesthetically designed for today’s business needs. It is housed in a sturdy metal case that can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall and boasts a fanless design to operate silently without sacrificing quality.
The switch replaces the GS110MX and follows the announcement of the GS108X, which provides a similar affordable option but with SFP+ fiber uplink. The GS108MX also comes with a Limited Lifetime warranty at no extra cost with product registration and is available on the NETGEAR website today for $139.99.
