The Netgear Gigabit Unmanaged Switch product line allows organizations to upgrade their networks to Gigabit speed and higher port counts. They are energy efficient, durable, and rigorously tested to ensure the reliability demanded by enterprises. Netgear Unmanaged Switches also support the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, which reduces power consumption when there is little traffic or no links or activity detected on an active port. Energy can also be saved by using short cables.
