Eight Gigabit ports for wired expansion

The GS308-300PAS provides eight RJ45 ports that operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation. It is an unmanaged Layer 2 switch designed for small offices or home networks that need additional wired connections without any configuration. The 8K MAC address table and 9216-byte jumbo frame support suit typical desktop and entertainment traffic.

Fanless metal case keeps noise at zero

Passive cooling eliminates moving parts so the unit runs silently in quiet rooms. Maximum power draw is 3.04 W and standby drops to 0.36 W thanks to energy-efficient Ethernet that scales consumption with link status and cable length. Operating temperature range is 0 to 40 °C with up to 90 % relative humidity non-condensing.

Non-blocking architecture sustains wire-speed

The 128 KB buffer and non-blocking switching fabric maintain full duplex performance on all eight ports simultaneously during prolonged transfers. QoS honours IEEE 802.1p priority tags so latency-sensitive streams keep priority under continuous load. Desktop or wall-mountable metal housing fits constrained spaces without active ventilation.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the GS308-300PAS on a wall and which step do people forget?

Use the built-in keyhole slots on the metal case; the step often missed is checking that the 12 V / 0.5 A power adapter reaches the outlet before securing the switch.

What part will need replacement first on this unmanaged switch?

The external 12 V DC power adapter is the only field-replaceable component; the fan-less switch itself has no moving parts or user-serviceable modules.

At what temperature does the GS308-300PAS hit its operating limit during sustained load?

The rated operating ceiling is 40 °C (104 °F); beyond that the fan-less chassis cannot dissipate the 3.04 W maximum power draw.
