Global networking company NETGEAR introduces its latest unmanaged switches, the GS108X and GS108MX, designed to address the evolving demands of expanding businesses and the escalating speeds of connected devices. Both models feature 8 Gigabit Copper Ports, ensuring non-blocking uplink capabilities over extended distances. While the GS108X incorporates a 10Gig SFP+ Port, enabling high-speed connections spanning over 100 meters, the GS108MX offers a versatile 10G/Multi-Gig Port, automatically adjusting to accommodate device speeds ranging from 100M to 10G, including increments of 1G, 2.5G, and 5G.
As a business becomes more complex, the need for strong network connectivity grows with it. With more devices required to run day-to-day operations, business owners may find that they have outgrown the Ethernet connections on their router which is where the GS108X and GS108MX, Switch fit in. The cost-effective solution provides seamless connectivity to a router or a core switch for powerful networking with a smaller port count without compromising quality. With minimal management required, the GS108X and GS108MX are easy to set up and use for companies that may not have dedicated IT support.
Talking about the latest launch, Marthesh Nagendra, Sales Director, India MEA South-East Asia Region, NETGEAR said “The launch of our latest switches marks a pivotal moment for businesses seeking sustainable solutions without compromising performance.
