The DGS-1008T is a high-performance unmanaged Layer-2 gigabit switch. Designed as a seamless migration of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks, the DGS-1008T interconnects faster response times at gigabit speeds. By creating a variety of network segments, system administrators can utilize the DGS-1008T gigabit switch, supporting increased data throughput for mission-critical applications. This type of implementation leverages your existing network infrastructure in connecting to an edge or backbone switch for network expansion. The DGS-1008T architecture supports Store-and-Forward switching capability, which receives the complete packet before transmission, reducing dropped packets. This switching scheme improves network performance in packets not having to be resent. As a high-performance switch, the DGS-1008T forwards packets at wire speeds.
1 Good performance, but noisy
I purchased this 8 port gigabit switch to do parallel computing. The setup is easy and it works reliably. The only thing I dislike is the noise made by its cooling fan. It is a little bit too noisy
