The D-Link GO-SW-8G switch expands a wired network with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting computers and other devices. As an unmanaged Layer 2 switch with plug-and-play support, it uses QoS to prioritize network traffic and IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet to reduce power consumption when data traffic is low.

Unused ports enter power-saving mode, while the power supplied is adjusted according to the length of the connected Ethernet cable. The packaging is recyclable.
