Datasheet

The ZyXEL GS1100 Series is the best solution for instant Gigabit connectivity in oce
environments demanding silent operation and better energy eciency. With power-saving
functions, Gigabit Ethernet and a fanless design, the GS1100 Series provides plug-and-play
simplicity for high-bandwidth network applications.
Benets
Green networking
The GS1100 Series not only oers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for next-generation network
applications, but also power-saving functions for better energy eciency. Capable of dynamically
adjusting power output according to trac, active links and cable length, the GS1100 Series can reduce
energy consumption for lowered operating costs.
Trac detection — Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) compliance
The IEEE 802.3az Energy Ecient Ethernet (EEE) feature automatically detects network trac and adjusts
power consumption dynamically, enabling the switch to reduce power consumption during low link
utilization periods. The GS1100 Series comes with IEEE 802.3az on/o button to help reduce power
consumption. This button allows users to keep the best performance without transmit impacted or to
have green support of Energy Ecient Ethernet mode with a simple push of a button.
Inactive link detection
The inactive link detection function automatically reduces power usage when inactive links or devices
are detected. The ZyXEL GS1100 Series can adjust power consumption according to link status and the
number of active network devices.
Cable length detection
This green feature enables the switch to automatically detect the length of connected Ethernet cables
and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less power it consumes.
Fanless design
The complete GS1100 Series comes in a fanless design that ensures silent operation in small or quiet
oce environments. The GS1100-8HP and GS1100-10HP PoE models are specically designed with an
external power adapter that eliminates the need for an additional fan to cool down the device, making it
perfect for quiet PoE deployments.
