Overview:
Affordable Solution for Gigabit Connections to the Desktop
The Zyxel GS1100 Series is positioned to deliver a solution that requires no switch management for office environments demanding silent operation and green technology. It provides plug-and-play simplicity for high-bandwidth connectivity.
The Zyxel GS1100 Series consists of two unmanaged switches: the GS1100-16 and GS1100-24. The GS1100-16 is a 16-port 10/100/1000 switch, and the GS1100-24 is a 24-port 10/100/1000 switch with 2 Gigabit open SFP slots. The GS1100 Series protects your existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.

Benefits:
Green networking
The GS1100 Series not only offers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for next-generation network applications, but also power-saving functions for better energy efficiency. Capable of dynamically adjusting power output according to traffic, active links and cable length, the GS1100 Series can reduce energy consumption for lowered operating costs.
- Traffic detection — Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliance
The IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) feature automatically detects network traffic and adjusts power consumption dynamically, enabling the switch to reduce power consumption during low link utilization periods. The GS1100 Series comes with IEEE 802.3az on/off button to help reduce power consumption. This button allows users to keep the best performance without transmit impacted or to have green support of Energy Efficient Ethernet mode with a simple push of a button.
- Inactive link detection
The inactive link detection function automatically reduces power usage when inactive links or devices are detected. The Zyxel GS1100 Series can adjust power consumption according to link status and the number of active network devices.
- Cable length detection
This green feature enables the switch to automatically detect the length of connected Ethernet cables and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less power it consumes.
Fanless design
The complete GS1100 Series comes in a fanless design that ensures silent operation in small or quiet office environments. The GS1100-8HP PoE model is specifically designed with an external power adapter that eliminates the need for an additional fan to cool down the device, making it perfect for quiet PoE deployments.

Freedom of installation via PoE (GS1100-8HP)
The GS1100-8HP supports the IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus standard to ease the installation of network devices in challenging spaces such as ceilings or walls. The power supply of up to 30 watts per port allows the GS1100-8HP to power PoE-enabled WLAN APs, VoIP phones and IP surveillance cameras through CAT-5 cables of less than 100 meters (300 feet) in length. With the Zyxel GS1100-8HP, there is no need for extra power adapters in installing PoE devices in difficult locations. This feature helps enterprises reduce installation time and cost when there are many such devices on the network.
