D-Link DES-1008C/B 8-Port 10/100Base-T Unmanaged Switch
The D-Link DES-1008C/B is an economical, plug-and-play unmanaged switch built for home offices, SOHO setups, and small businesses that need to expand a wired network without any configuration. It provides eight 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports, supporting data transfer speeds of up to 200Mbps at full duplex, and Auto MDI/MDIX crossover means any standard cable works without needing a special uplink port. The switch implements 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), automatically reducing power to ports when a connected device is off or idle, and further optimizes power draw based on cable length. With no fan and low power consumption, it runs silently and stays cool even in continuous use.
