1.2 Product Description

Centralized Power Distribution for Ethernet Networking

The GSD-908HP, a new member in the PLANET 802.3af / 802.3at PoE Unmanaged

Gigabit Ethernet Switch family, is an 8-port 10/100/1000T 802.3at Power

over Ethernet + 1-port 10/100/1000T Desktop Switch with a total of 120 watts of PoE budget, which is an ideal solution to fulfilling the demand of sufficient

PoE power for network applications with Gigabit Ethernet speed transmission. The eight 802.3af / 802.3at PoE Gigabit ports provides PoE power injector function which is able to drive 8 IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices or 4 IEEE 802.3at compliant powered devices. The GSD-908HP also provides a simple, cost-effective and non-blocking Gigabit wire-speed performance. It comes with a metal compact housing, suitable for desktop deployment in SOHO office or department network application.

Perfectly Integrated Solution for IP PoE Camera and NVR System

Different from the general IT industrial PoE Switch which usually comes with 12 or

24 PoE ports, the GSD-908HP provides eight 802.3af / 802.3at PoE Gigabit ports for catering to small scale of IP Surveillance networks at a lower total cost. The

GSD-908HP comes with high performance switch architecture and 120-watt PoE power budget. The recorded video files from 8 PoE IP Cameras can be powered by the GSD-908HP and saved in the 8-channel NVR system or surveillance software to perform comprehensive security monitoring. For instance, one GSD-908HP can be combined with one 8-channel NVR and 8 PoE IP cameras as a kit for the administrators to centrally and efficiently manage the surveillance system in the local LAN and the remote site via Internet.

Stable and High Performance Switch Architecture

The GSD-908HP has a 4K MAC address table, featuring high performance switch architecture capable of providing the non-blocking 18Gbps switch fabric and wirespeed throughput as high as 13.3Mpps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands. Besides, the

802.3x Full-Duplex flow control function of the GSD-908HP enables PD devices and servers to be directly connected to the switch for wire-speed packet transfer performance without the risk of packet loss.

The GSD-908HP RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-

Negotiation at port 1 to port 9 for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category

6, 5 or 5e cables. It also supports standard Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.

Easy Cable Connection

With data and power over Ethernet from one unit, the GSD-908HP reduces cabling requirements and eliminates the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place. A wire that carries both data and power can lower the installation costs, simplify the installation effort and eliminate the need for electricians or extension cords. Providing 8 PoE interfaces, the GSD-908HP is ideal for small businesses and workgroups requiring deploying the PoE for the wireless access points, IP-based surveillance camera or IP phones in any places easily, efficiently and cost-effectively.
