Switch DIGITUS 10 inch Gigabit Ethernet 8-Port Unmanaged - 8x Gigabit RJ45, rack-mountable

The DIGITUS 10" Gigabit Ethernet 8-Port Unmanaged switch offers eight 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 ports in a compact 10" (25 cm) rack-mountable metal housing. Designed for plug-and-play deployment, the unmanaged switch provides wired 1 Gbps connectivity for desktops, IP phones, printers and wireless access points without requiring configuration. Fanless operation and low power consumption make it suitable for small offices, branch locations and structured building cabling where silent, energy-efficient network expansion is required.

Advantages

This DIGITUS switch delivers straightforward network extension with a non-blocking store-and-forward architecture and a 16 Gbps switching capacity that supports simultaneous traffic on all ports. Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X simplify cabling, while IEEE 802.3x flow control and a MAC address table of 8K improve traffic handling. The compact 10" design and internal power supply enable easy integration into small racks or distribution cabinets. Passive cooling ensures quiet, maintenance-free operation and low maximum power consumption of 5 W.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized business (SMB) LAN extension and device aggregation
• SOHO environments and home offices requiring wired Gigabit connections
• Integration into 10" racks, wall-mounted housings or distribution cabinets
• Connecting desktop PCs, IP phones, network printers and access points
• Environments where a simple, unmanaged plug-and-play switch is sufficient

How to use

Install the switch into a compatible 10" rack or place it in a suitable cabinet or wall-mounted housing. Connect your network devices to the RJ45 ports using appropriate Ethernet cables. The switch is unmanaged and requires no configuration—devices will negotiate speed and duplex automatically. Connect the built-in power supply to a mains outlet (100–240 V AC) and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm successful connections. Position the unit in a well-ventilated area within the specified operating temperature and humidity ranges.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables and avoid placing the unit near heat sources. Ensure the rack or cabinet provides sufficient ventilation even though the device is fanless. Use the switch for aggregation of wired endpoints in small networks where managed features are not required; for networks needing VLANs or advanced QoS, consider a managed alternative.
