DIGISOL DG-GS1008PH-A is a Gigabit Ethernet PoE unmanaged switch designed to enhance network performance in a compact form factor. The switch offers 8 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports of which 4 ports are Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant to IEEE 802.3af. The PoE ports can be used to power up devices complying with 802.3afusing the existing Ethernet cable. The switch uses store and forward packet switching technology which ensures reliable data transfer. The switch also supports automatic MDI/MDI-X detection which eliminates the need of a cross over cables or dedicated uplink ports. Thus the DG-GS1008PH-A is an ideal solution for small Ethernet work groups and application requiring PoE.
