NETGEAR GS308V3 Certified Refurbished 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

The NETGEAR GS308V3 features 8x 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with 16 Gbps non-blocking switching bandwidth, housed in a durable metal case measuring 158 x 101 x 29 mm and weighing just 0.39 kg, delivering silent fanless operation ideal for noise-sensitive home offices and small business environments. This certified refurbished network switch provides plug-and-play simplicity with Auto-MDI/MDIX cable detection, eliminating the need for crossover cables while offering energy-efficient IEEE 802.3az compliance to reduce power consumption.

Perfect for expanding wired network connectivity in small office/home office environments, this switch seamlessly connects multiple devices including desktop computers, printers, NAS storage systems, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and VoIP phones. The compact desktop or wall-mountable design adapts to any workspace configuration whilst maintaining wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously.

Professional Performance Features

This Verified Reboot Refurb network switch delivers enterprise-grade reliability with a non-blocking switching architecture ensuring maximum throughput at wire-speed. The 128 KB packet buffer memory dynamically shares resources across active ports for optimal performance efficiency. With support for jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes and an 8K MAC address table, the switch handles demanding network traffic with exceptional low latency of less than 2.6 microseconds. The IEEE 802.1p Priority QoS implementation provides intelligent traffic prioritisation for time-sensitive applications like video streaming and VoIP communications.

Energy-efficient features including automatic power adjustment based on link status and cable length detection significantly reduce operational costs. The external 12V DC power adapter draws a maximum of only 3.04W during full operation and just 0.36W on standby, making it one of the most power-conscious switches in its class whilst maintaining exceptional reliability with an MTBF rating of 3,711,898 hours.

Understanding Cosmetic Condition Grades

Excellent Grade units show no deep scratches, cracks, paint chips, or broken/missing pieces on the metal housing. These certified refurbished switches exhibit minimal signs of previous use with only very light surface marks barely noticeable upon close inspection.

Good Grade units remain fully tested and fully functional but may feature light scratches on the external metal body, slightly more wear on the housing, and potentially one or several small dings, dents, or minor paint chips on the surface whilst maintaining complete operational integrity.
