The product line of Netgear Gigabit Unmanaged Switches allows businesses to expand their networks to Gigabit speeds and higher port counts. They are energy-efficient, durable, and undergo rigorous testing to ensure the reliability demanded by businesses. Netgear Unmanaged Switches also support the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, which reduces power consumption when there is little traffic on an active port or when no links or activities are detected. Additionally, using shorter cables can help save energy.
