Introduction

NETGEAR’ s GS608 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch connects your network with the dual advantages of performance and convenience. As a fast, auto-switching Ethernet connection, the GS608 integrates both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit devices into your network—supporting both Windows and Macintosh platforms at speeds up to 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. Every port automatically senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, while dual-color LEDs make it easy to monitor link, speed and activity. Auto Uplink™ technology adjusts for either of the two common kinds of cables; and with its embedded Plug-and-Play technology, you simply turn it on and it works. All this in NETGEAR’s compact signature design, plus a convenient stand for vertical positioning.
