The D-Link GO-SW-8E unmanaged Layer 2 switch connects devices to a wired home or small-office network through 8 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps ports. The ports automatically negotiate speed and full- or half-duplex operation, while LED indicators show their connection status and activity. D-Link Green technology reduces power consumption when a port is unused and adjusts it according to the length of the connected cable.

Installation is Plug-and-Play, with no configuration required. IEEE 802.3x flow control helps limit packet loss when a port’s buffer fills up, while the fanless design ensures quiet operation.
