Cost-effective Solution
The D-Link DGS-1008A 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch is a cost-effective solution that
provides network connectivity to users via 8 Ethernet ports. Not only does it offer advanced
features that improve performance, it also cuts costs by lowering power usage while
simultaneously upgrading your network bandwidth to Gigabit speeds. 8 ports enables you to
add more devices to your network without ever having to worry about availability. This switch
simply offers the best performance and value at its price point.

Advanced Features
The DGS-1008A 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch supports 802.3 Energy-Efficient Ethernet
to help you cut power usage by automatically powering down ports that have no data
activity, adding up to more savings on your electricity bill. Also featuring 802.1p Quality of
Service (QoS), the DGS-1008A lets you prioritize traffic by type so that streaming media such
as network telephony (VoIP) stays smooth when you need it. Other scenarios such as online
gaming or digital video streaming can also be prioritized in order of importance for the best
possible performance.
