In the following section, the term “Gigabit Ethernet Switch”

means the GSD-805.

2.1 Product Description

The PLANET GSD-805 is 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit

Ethernet Switch with non-blocking wire-speed performance and

new metal shape for easily desktop deployment in compact

housing or SOHO application.

With a 16Gbps internal switching fabric, the Gigabit Ethernet

Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure

topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.

The Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 4K MAC Address table and

offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of

packet loss. The Gigabit ports with 9K jumbo packet support

can handle large amounts of data transmission in a secure

topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers. The

high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most

Gigabit environments, especially network upgrades to a Gigabit

environment.

All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-

Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category

6, 5 or 5e cables. Support standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that

can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without

requiring special straight or crossover cables.

The Flow Control function allows Gigabit Ethernet Switch
