Gigabit Power for the Home
For a high-speed network on a small scale, nothing delivers like these stylish powerhouses. These fast, easy, and affordable Gigabit switches gives your home network the maximum capacity to handle huge bandwidth. Packed with ease-of-use features to simplify your networking experience, their sleek design makes them look great on a desktop either flat or in the provided stand. The GS605 and GS608 move very large files such as high-end multimedia, gaming, Internet access, and other speed-intensive applications across your network instantly, and because they are standards-based, they painlessly integrate existing 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on your network. The fan-less design results in silent operation allowing you to focus on your game or relax to your music. Matched with NETGEAR's thorough testing, the GS600 switches provide long-lasting performance you can count on.

Potent

Moves huge files fast! Features 5 or 8 high-speed, auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. And because Copper Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you can get up to 2000 Mbps on each port. The GS600 Series provides Jumbo Frame support of up to 9,000 byte frames. Seamlessly integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network and will honor Layer 2 priority tags. Every port automatically senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, and Auto Uplink technology automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables The sleek design looks great on a desktop whether the switches rest on their feet or, in the included vertical stand, making it ideal for home and small office environments. LEDs make for easy monitoring while no fans make for noiseless operation. Compatible with major network operating systems whether it's PC or Mac OS.
