GS108T Hardware Installation Guide
The GS108T Smart Switch is a free-standing switch. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable.
Features
The following list identifies the key features of the GS108T Smart Switch.
•Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Gigabit switching ports.
•The devices support full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.
•The devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:
•IEEE 802.3i, (10BASE-T)
•IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
•IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
