Eight-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

The Amer.com SG8D is an unmanaged desktop switch with eight RJ45 ports that operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps. It supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards and draws a maximum of 2 Watts from an external 5 V, 1 A power adapter. The unit measures 0.94" x 4.72" x 3.35" and runs at up to 40 °C.

Upgrade From Fast Ethernet

Replacing a 10/100 Mbps switch with the SG8D moves each connected device to gigabit speeds without new cabling, using existing four-pair Category 5 runs. The jump is worth it when video streaming, backbone links or bandwidth-intensive applications exceed fast-Ethernet throughput. LEDs show link activity, connectivity and transmission speed per port.

Small Offices And Home Networks

This switch suits small offices, workgroups or home users who need a silent, fanless desktop device to expand a wired network to eight gigabit connections. Buyers who require VLANs, QoS, link aggregation or remote management should look at a managed switch instead. Those needing Power over Ethernet, fibre uplinks or more than eight ports will need a different model.

Questions about this item

How much desk space does the 0.94 x 4.72 x 3.35 inch case need?

The desktop chassis measures 0.94 inches high, 4.72 inches wide and 3.35 inches deep, so it fits on a shelf or behind a monitor with only a few inches of clearance.

Which cables plug into the eight RJ45 ports and do they need any configuration?

Connect standard Cat 5 or better patch cords to the eight RJ45 ports; the switch is unmanaged so it negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps automatically with no setup required.

When should the external 5V 1A power adapter be replaced?

Replace the adapter if the power LED stays off while the unit is plugged in, or if the switch drops links and the adapter feels unusually hot during normal 2-watt operation.
