What is Gigabit?

This Network Giga Switch makes it possible to connect up to 8 networked devices and allows files and peripheral devices to be easily shared between all connected users. The switch has a processor that ensures the data is intelligently transferred between the computers, so that a highly reliable transfer rate of 1000 Mbps is guaranteed. With Gigabit wired speed the switch is ideal for sharing large files such as HD movies and music files.

The switch is extremely easy to use and is fully Plug and Play, with no installation or configuration necessary. The built-in power saving function saves up to 70% of energy. Three components allow for an efficient power usage: no traffic is routed to inactive ports, the switch automatically changes to standby when the connected devices are turned off and finally, the cable length detection identifies the distance to the connected devices and adjusts the power use.

This switch comes with Sitecom’s extensive 10 Year Warranty. Simply activate the long-term warranty by registering your product within 3 weeks of purchase.

What is the advantage of Gigabit?

Gigabit switches offer a wired speed of 1000 Mbps; ideal for demanding applications such as streaming HD-content and sharing large files.
What is the difference between a switch and a router?

With a router you can create a wired or wireless network to share internet, devices and data. A router has a limited amount of network ports to which you can connect network devices. Connect a switch to your router in order to expand the number of network connections.
Can I combine a Gigabit switch with a Fast Ethernet router?

If you want to benefit from optimal performance throughout your network, then we recommend using both a gigabit switch as well as a gigabit router. Otherwise the speed between the two is limited to only 100 Mbps.
How does the power saving functionality work?
With Sitecom switches you can save up to 70% of the energy consumption:
- No traffic is routed to inactive ports to save power
- Automatically switches to standby when the connected device is turned off
- Cable length detection: identifies the distance to the connected devices and adjusts the power use
What is the difference between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit?

Fast Ethernet switches offer a wired speed up to 100 Mbps and Gigabit switches offer a wired speed up to 1000 Mbps.
