D-Link DES-1108

The D-Link DES-1108 is a compact 8-port Ethernet switch geared for users trying to expand their at-home wired network. It builds from the 5-port DES-1105 by adding along three more Ethernet ports, though it maintains its predecessor’s non-blocking wire-speed architecture for seamless 200Mbps bandwidth per port in full-duplex mode.

Like its predecessor, the DES-1108 requires no crossover cables, and it’s capable of auto-sensing whether the attached network device is running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps. 99% of people who’ve purchased the switch give it a thumbs up, heralding it as an optimal solution for those seeking affordable network expansion.
