Eight Gigabit ports for small networks

The NETGEAR ProSafe GS108 provides eight RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. It is an unmanaged switch, so it suits home offices, small businesses or branch rooms that need instant connectivity without any configuration. The metal chassis supports desktop or wall mounting and runs silently with no fan.

Uplink limited to Fast Ethernet speeds

The specifications list an uplink speed of 10/100 Mbps on the RJ45 interface, meaning any aggregated traffic leaving the switch toward a router or core network cannot exceed Fast Ethernet rates. Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes are supported and the internal buffer holds 768KB, but the uplink bottleneck remains a hard ceiling for throughput-heavy workloads.

Plug-and-play install with no software

Installation is limited to connecting power and Ethernet cables; there is no management interface, web UI or command line to configure. The only common issue is forgetting that the uplink ports do not operate at Gigabit speed, which can surprise users expecting full 1000 Mbps end-to-end. Energy-efficient IEEE802.3az operation is automatic.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8-port GS108 or the 16-port GS116 for my office?

The GS108 gives you eight Gigabit RJ45 ports in a desktop or wall-mount metal case; the GS116 doubles the port count to sixteen while keeping the same unmanaged plug-and-play design and mounting options.

What does the 1000 Mbps uplink speed deliver on a real network?

Each of the eight ports runs at full Gigabit line rate with a 768 KB buffer and 9216-byte jumbo frame support, so large file transfers and backups move at wire speed without head-of-line blocking.

Does the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet cap the switch’s throughput?

No — 802.3az only reduces power during low-link utilisation; all eight ports still forward at 1000 Mbps with the full 768 KB buffer and 9216-byte jumbo frames enabled.
