Fast Ethernet Switch FS105 v2/FS108 v2

You use the FS105 v2/FS108 v2 switch to build a small network that enables you to have 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps access to other devices on the network. Also, with this switch, you can add extra computers to your cable or DSL router. Unlike a hub that shares its connection with all devices, the FS105 v2/FS108 v2 switch provides a full, dedicated 100 Mbps (or 10 Mbps) connection between two devices. If a device has full-duplex capability, the FS105 v2/FS108 v2 switch provides a 200 Mbps (or 20 Mbps) connection.

Ethernet cables come as either straight-through or crossover cables—depending on whether you’re connecting to a device (computer, server, or printer) or networking equipment (hub, switch, or router). With the Auto Uplink™ feature, you don’t have to worry about which one you use. Each port on the FS105 v2/FS108 v2 switch automatically configures itself correctly when you plug in a device’s cable.

If you have a problem with your switch, NETGEAR offers free support 24 hours a day and 7 days a week on the Web (www.NETGEAR.com), by e-mail (support@NETGEAR.com) and by phone (see the provided support information card for phone numbers).

FS105 V2, FS108 V2, NET-FS108NA specifications

NETGEAR has established itself as a leader in networking solutions, bringing innovative technologies to various audiences, from small businesses to home users. The NET-FS108NA, FS108 V2, and FS105 V2 are part of NETGEAR's reliable family of Ethernet switches, designed to enhance local area network (LAN) performance.

The NET-FS108NA is an 8-port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switch, perfect for small to medium-sized networks. It supports a simple plug-and-play installation and features an unmanaged switch design, which means there is no configuration required. This switch is ideal for those looking to expand their network or connect multiple devices quickly and efficiently. The FS108 V2 is similar in functionality, providing 8 ports but with improved design elements for better heat dissipation and reliability. Both switches provide auto-negotiation, meaning they can automatically adjust to the highest speed possible for connected devices, ensuring optimal performance.

On the other hand, the NETGEAR FS105 V2 is a 5-port version that provides the same 10/100 Mbps speeds, making it a compact choice for home users or smaller workgroups. Its space-saving design allows for easy placement in tight spaces, making it a practical choice for those who need to add just a few wired connections.

All the mentioned switches feature Ethernet ports that allow for straightforward connectivity with computers, printers, IP cameras, and other network devices. They use a non-blocking architecture, which ensures that all ports can communicate simultaneously without a drop in performance. Additionally, the switches are equipped with IEEE 802.3x flow control, preventing packet loss during data transmission.

Power-saving features are also a highlight of these models, as they automatically adjust power usage based on cable length. This efficient design helps minimize energy costs while ensuring a reliable connection.

In conclusion, the NETGEAR NET-FS108NA, FS108 V2, and FS105 V2 switches deliver robust performance, ease of use, and flexibility for any networking environment. With technologies aimed at enhancing speed, efficiency, and usability, these switches are formidable options for those looking to upgrade their networking capabilities.
