DS81072 StarTech 8-Port 10/100/1000Base-T Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch

StarTech.com DS81072

Built for small workgroups that want to connect PCs, printers, NAS drives and smart TVs to one network, the StarTech.com DS81072 is an 8-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch from StarTech.com.

The StarTech.com DS81072 is equipped with 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T for a flexible mix of connections. A compact port count is a cost-effective way to add connections exactly where they are needed. Wired Ethernet gives consistent, low-latency connections that wireless alone cannot always guarantee. For best results, pair the Gigabit ports with Cat5e or higher-grade cabling. Standards-based Ethernet ensures interoperability with routers, firewalls, servers and endpoints from other vendors.

There is no software to configure. Connect your devices and the switch takes care of auto-negotiation and traffic forwarding. Keeping a record of what is connected to each port speeds up maintenance. Auto-negotiation matches each port to the connected device's speed automatically. Regular firmware updates, where available, help keep the switch secure and stable. Every port provides a dedicated connection, so devices do not compete for a shared medium.

Connecting it to a UPS protects your network from brief power cuts and surges. Place it where you need extra wired ports, such as a home office, living room or small shop counter. A wired connection gives devices more stable speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi alone. If your router has too few LAN ports, this is a simple and affordable fix. Add the StarTech.com DS81072 to your network for StarTech.com unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switching you can depend on.
