Zyxel Networks Unveils Eco-Friendly Mini Ethernet Switches for Small Businesses
In an era where compact, efficient, and eco-friendly technology is a priority, Zyxel Networks has introduced an updated version of its GS-100 series Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) unmanaged mini switches. Designed for small office and home office (SOHO) users, these sleek and powerful networking solutions offer seamless connectivity without occupying much space.
High-Speed Connectivity Made Simple
The GS-100 series switches come in two models: 5-port and 8-port plug-and-play options. These unmanaged switches are designed for effortless operation, allowing SOHO users to connect multiple devices such as IP phones, network-attached storage (NAS), routers, PCs, and gaming consoles without any additional setup.
Equipped with front-facing ports and LED indicators, users can easily check port status and monitor device connectivity. Additionally, the GS-100 series features dedicated Quality of Service (QoS) ports, ensuring that bandwidth-sensitive applications like VoIP calls and video conferencing maintain optimal performance.
Compact Design for Any Space
At just 8 to 12 cm wide, the GS-100 series is smaller than most smartphones, making it an ideal solution for clutter-free workspaces. Its fanless design guarantees silent operation, allowing professionals to focus on their tasks without distractions.
Built to Last, Designed for Sustainability
Durability meets sustainability with the GS-100 series. The metal housing enhances resilience, protecting the device from damage while enabling operation in a wider range of temperatures compared to plastic alternatives.
Zyxel’s commitment to energy efficiency is evident in the GS-100 series, which supports the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard. This feature automatically reduces power consumption during low network activity, helping environmentally conscious users cut down on energy waste.
Moreover, the updated design reduces the product’s weight, leading to a 50.89% decrease in carbon emissions. The packaging is also 26.95% smaller, allowing for more efficient transportation and up to 50% more units per pallet.
Meeting the Needs of Modern Small Businesses
“Today’s small business users need effective, economic, and reliable networking solutions that not only perform well but also align with their aesthetic and environmental values,” said Mr. Gary Chen, SEA regional head at Zyxel Networks. “With the GS-100 series, we’re delivering a discreet, quiet, and energy-efficient switch that provides a comprehensive yet simple networking solution.”
For businesses seeking a compact, high-performance, and eco-friendly networking solution, the new Zyxel GS-100 series is a compelling choice.
