Netgear Inc. GS308PP-100NAS 8-port Gigabit PoE+ network switch 83W

8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

The Netgear GS308PP-100NAS is an unmanaged desktop switch with eight RJ45 ports that deliver 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power. It provides a total PoE budget of 83W across all ports, allowing devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones to receive both data and power over a single twisted-pair cable. The fanless metal chassis operates silently and supports desktop, wall or rack mounting with included hardware.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This switch fits small offices or home networks that need a simple plug-and-play solution for powering multiple PoE+ devices without configuration software. It suits installers who value silent operation and standards-based interoperability with existing 10/100/1000Base-T equipment. Buyers who require managed features such as VLANs, link aggregation or remote monitoring should consider a managed alternative. Deployments needing more than 83W of total PoE power or more than eight ports will need a higher-capacity model.

Mounting hardware and PoE auto-balance

The box includes all brackets and screws required for desktop, wall or rack installation, so no separate mounting kit is necessary. Netgear’s PoE auto-balance technology distributes the 83W budget granularly per port based on each connected device’s actual demand, preventing overload and ensuring efficient power allocation. Energy-efficient IEEE 802.3az operation reduces consumption during low-traffic periods, while the durable metal case and NDAA compliance support long-term deployment in regulated environments.
