Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description If you need an affordable, versatile way to make lightning fast local network connections, the Linksys EG008W Gigabit 8-Port Workgroup Switch is the answer. Get blistering speeds of up to 2000 Mbps with this wired switch, which allows heavy users of multimedia, graphics, video, and other bandwidth-hungry applications to share and transfer large files with ease. Plus, thanks to the technology built into the EG008W you can mix clients that support slower, 10 or 100 Mbps speeds with those that run at full gigabit speeds -- without any speed loss. Simply put, the EG008W is the perfect solution for your desktop gigabit and 10/100 networking needs. 
The EG008W features LED lights that keep you updated on the status and performance of the switch. View larger. | 
Eight auto-sensing ports allow you to use crossover or regular ethernet cables interchangeably. View larger. | With workstations that support Gigabit Ethernet networking, you'll see amazing speed increases over 10/100 Mbps networks. Connect your clients to the full-duplex ports and see your data traffic efficiency improve several times over. Dedicated bandwidth of up to 2000 Mbps can be attained with the EG008W, making it perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly. A full array of LED indicators are provided on the front of the EG008W, giving you detailed information about the status and performance of the switch: - Power: The power LED lights up when the switch is powered on.
- Link/Act: The Link/Act LED blinks when data is being sent or received through the port. When the LED is off, there is no data being transferred through the port.
- Speed: The speed LED blinks when that port is transmitting at 1000 Mbps. If the LED is not lit, the port is transmitting at 10 or 100 Mbps.
- FDX: If the FDX (Full Duplex/Collision) LED is lit up continuously, the connection made through the corresponding port is running in full duplex mode. If the LED is blinking, the port is experiencing data collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal. If this LED is blinking often, there may be a problem with your connection.
Amazing versatility is built into the EG008W. Simply install this switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can network your high-requirement workstations with Gigabit Ethernet speeds, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, and choose the link speeds that are right for each of the users on your network. The EG008W is designed to integrate easily with your existing network and you can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to your gigabit server backbone without any additional equipment. All ports on the EG008W are auto-negotiating, and they have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. This means that you no longer have to fuss with which type of cables you're using, as crossover and regular networking cables are automatically detected. Other advanced features include address learning and aging, as well as 802.3x flow control. Plus, head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. What's in the Box

 Latest version has no fan and new case November 16, 2006

Contrary to what many of the reviews say here, the latest version (3.0) of the switch has been redesigned without a fan. The switch is 100% silent. Also, the pictures on a lot of sites of the switch are old. To see the new case go to the linksys site.
THE EG008W V3 IS GREAT. NO FAN ISSUES! October 5, 2006

Apparently version 1 had major fan issues. The latest version 3 is completely silent and performance is great. My only complaint is that I want to wall mount this switch and it includes no means to do so.
Good Switch July 20, 2008

Actual product does not match picture. I have Ver 3 - no fan so no noise issues. Unit has holes for mounting on wall. Works well with Vista.
Much improved over the ver 1 and ver 2 March 20, 2009

Much improved over the old ver 1 and ver 2. Biggest enhancement was the fan free design in the ver 3 box. My old ver 2 box is dead. Hopefully, the new version will last longer.
No compatibility issues June 11, 2009

Several of my computers were also Giga-bit. So when I purchased a NAS with Giga-bit it was time for new routers.
The most difficult process was finding a inexpensive Giga-bit switch which was listed as compatible with both my NAS and my Sonos music players. I've been burned before using non-approved devices. These work just great and no compatibility issues.
