The 8‑Port 10/100 Unmanaged Desktop Switch provides a quick, easy, and economical way to connect up to eight devices for fast file transfers and smooth media streaming. Powerful and versatile, it eliminates network bottlenecks while giving home offices and small-to-medium businesses the capability to fine-tune performance.

This unmanaged switch comes with easily-accessible, auto-sensing 10/100 front Ethernet ports with two LED indicators per port to quickly distinguish link status and speed. The DES-108 also supports Auto-MDI/MDIX crossover allowing each port to be plugged directly to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables. Support for IEEE 802.1p QoS is included, which organizes and prioritizes time-sensitive and important data for efficient delivery.

The DES-108 is part of D-Link Green™, D-Link’s eco-friendly technology, providing energy savings, reduced power consumption, and a longer product lifespan without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. It supports the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient-Ethernet (EEE) standard which detects when a connected device is shut down or when there is no Ethernet traffic, in which case the switch will power down the idle port, saving a substantial amount of power. This helps businesses to reduce their electricity bills with no compromise on performance.
