WAVLINK WL-NW908G1 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The WAVLINK WL-NW908G1 is an unmanaged 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide additional wired network connections for homes, offices and other network setups.
It comes with eight adaptive 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 LAN ports, allowing devices with different Ethernet speeds to connect to the same network. The switch provides a 16Gbps switching capacity and supports IEEE 802.3x flow control, 9K jumbo frames, Auto-MDI/MDIX and automatic MAC address learning.
The WL-NW908G1 uses a durable metal enclosure and fanless construction, providing heat dissipation and quiet operation. Its plug-and-play design allows users to expand their wired network without complicated configuration.
Key Features
- 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Eight adaptive 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 LAN ports for connecting multiple wired devices.
- 16Gbps Switching Capacity: Provides a 16Gbps switching capacity for handling network traffic across connected devices.
- 10/100/1000Mbps Compatibility: Auto-negotiation allows the ports to work with 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices.
- IEEE 802.3x Flow Control: Supports flow control in Full Duplex mode and backpressure in Half Duplex mode.
- 9K Jumbo Frame Support: Supports 9K jumbo frames for large data transfers.
- Auto-MDI/MDIX: Automatically detects the cable connection type, removing the requirement for crossover cables.
- Automatic MAC Learning: Automatically learns and ages MAC addresses.
- Metal Housing: The metal enclosure is designed to provide durability and assist with heat dissipation.
- Fanless Design: Fanless construction enables quiet operation.
- Plug-and-Play: Designed for simple installation without complicated network configuration.
- Store-and-Forward: Uses store-and-forward packet transmission.
- Compact Form Factor: Measures 136 × 74 × 24mm.
Connect Multiple Wired Devices
The WL-NW908G1 can be connected to a router to expand the number of available Ethernet ports. It can then provide wired network connectivity for devices such as:
- Desktop PCs
- Network printers
- Smart TVs
- Gaming consoles
- Other Ethernet-enabled devices
Gigabit Network Connectivity
Each of the eight RJ45 ports supports automatic negotiation between 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet connections. This provides compatibility with both Gigabit-capable equipment and devices operating at lower Ethernet speeds.
16Gbps Switching Capacity
With a 16Gbps switching capacity, the WL-NW908G1 is designed to efficiently handle network traffic between connected devices.
Metal Enclosure & Fanless Operation
The switch features a metal housing designed to assist heat dissipation during operation. Its fanless construction avoids the need for an internal cooling fan, helping maintain a quiet environment for office, home and entertainment applications.
Easy Installation
The WL-NW908G1 follows a plug-and-play approach. Connect the supplied power source, connect the switch to your router or network, and then connect your wired devices through the available Ethernet ports.
