October 20, 2008 — Moxa announces the EDS-G308, a full Gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switch. The EDS-G308 is equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with up to two selectable fiber optic 100/1000M SFP modules for the highest level of data transmission. The EDS-G308 series provides industrial grade features needed to withstand adverse conditions, such as -40 to 75°C operating range, redundant dual 12/24/48 VDC, 18 to 30 VAC inputs, and rugged fiber optic support. The Ethernet switches have the optimum balance of speed, cost, and long-term reliability, making it easy for users to upgrade highly demanding networks to full Gigabit speed, but without eliminating your existing 10/100M Ethernet networks.The EDS-G308 comes with an innovative power-saving design that cuts power consumption by up to 62%. The power-saving design works by automatically detecting the link status, and reducing the power usage of ports that are idle. Product Features
