The GS-1008P is an 8-port 10/100/1000BASE switch with 8 PoE ports, designed for use in small or medium sized network environments. This product is compact in size, making it ideal for users with limited space. It also gives users the option of installing it in a 19" cabinet with rack-mount kits or underneath a desk.
The GS-1008P features 8 IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, which supply up to 30 watts of power per port. It can convert standard 100-240V AC power into low-voltage DC, which runs over existing LAN cables to supply power to IEEE 802.3at compliant network accessories. The GS-1008P also features PoE detection, to verify whether the connected device is IEEE 802.3at compliant; if it is not a PoE device, only data will be sent through the LAN cable. The GS-1008P can connect with a variety of PoE products, including access points, IP cameras and IP phones. It is the best solution for when power outlets are difficult to install or the power outlets are too far from the device.
By adding PoE devices, you can use an existing standard Cat-5 Ethernet cable without a new electrical outlet for both power and data. It helps you reduce installation time and cost.
Since the fan-less design ensures quiet operation in small office spaces, the GS-1008P is an ideal solution for SOHO environments.
