Built To Last
Buffalo's Gigabit Green Ethernet Smart Switches come with a compact and durable all metal chassis and are all but the 48-port model are fan-less which provides silent and reliable operation. Buffalo's lifetime warranty ensures that you will never have to replace your switch due to defects.

Gigabit Ethernet
Multiple gigabit Ethernet ports provide fast transfer rates of large bandwidth intensive files including graphics and multimedia.

Easily Extend Your Office Network
Integrates any Ethernet enabled device with plug and play setup including PCs, wireless access points, security cameras and VOIP phones.

Fast and Easy Setup
Easy to read LED indicators for each port clearly and quickly communicate which ports have active connections as well as which ports have gigabit speed devices attached. Auto-MDIX provides fast plug and play setup, eliminating the need for a crossover cable while auto-negotiation detects the link speed of the attached device and adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance, making the switch backwards compatible with older network devices.

Save Energy and Operational Expenses
802.3az Green Ethernet technology monitors the link status of each port and only provides power to those that have a connected device that is powered on and puts transmitters into sleep mode when no information is being sent or received. In addition, the length of cable connected to each port is detected and the amount of power supplied is adjusted accordingly. All of these features add up to huge energy savings over traditional switches.

Detect Network Disruptions
Buffalo's Gigabit Green Ethernet Smart Switches come with a loop prevention feature which shuts down the port(s) where a network loop is detected.
