Benefits

Compact and Stylish Design

The stylish and compact metal housing of the ES-105A/ES-108A fits any working
environments. The affordable and reliable series comes with 5/8 ports to meet home
network expansion needs.

Get Optimal Bandwidth for Media Traffics through VIP Ports

The ZyXEL ES-105A/ES-108A is designed with 2/3 "VIP" ports. With port-based QoS
feature, the ES-105A/ES-108A provides considerably enhanced download quality.
Users can experience better performance of Internet surfing, online gaming and
multimedia streaming preferred through prioritized bandwidth setting.

Easy to Connect Multiple Devices

The ES-105A/ES-108A is designed to boost your home network with better
performance and efficiency. With N-way auto-negotiation function, the ES-105A/ES-
108A connects to network counterparts with highest possible speed and activates
full-duplex mode automatically, while the store-and-forward service brings low
latency and error-free packet delivery. You can also easily connect devices such as PCs,
network storages and print servers to the home network without any manual
configuration.

Energy Saving via Link Status and Cable Length Detection

The ES-105A/ES-108A features Green solutions that provide power-saving benefits
without compromising performance. The ES-105A/ES-108A automatically reduces
power usage by detecting any shutdown network device or inactive link. In other
words, power consumption of the ES-105A/ES-108A adjusts usage according to the
number of active network devices.
