8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

The NETGEAR ProSafe GS308-300PAS provides eight RJ45 ports for expanding a wired home or small-office network. It is built for users who need a simple desktop or wall-mount hub without any management overhead.

Plug-and-Play Installation

No software or configuration is required; just connect the power adapter and Ethernet cables. The fanless design ensures silent operation, while IEEE802.3az compliance reduces power draw when ports are idle.

1 Gbps Uplink Speed

Each port negotiates at 10/100/1000 Mbps, so the switch suits gigabit broadband and local file transfers. Buyers who need faster uplink interfaces or managed features should consider other models.
