Ran out of Gigabit ports? The AT-GS910/8E adds eight more in the time it takes to plug in a cable — no web login, no firmware, no fan noise. Allied Telesis backs it with a lifetime warranty, so you're not gambling on a no-name switch that quits in a year.
Enterprise-Grade Reliability in a Simple Box
Allied Telesis has built enterprise-grade switches for over 30 years, and that same reliability engineering is baked into this compact 8-port unmanaged Gigabit switch. There is no web interface to log into, no firmware to patch, and no fan to fail — you plug it in and it works. For a home office, a classroom, or a small-business wiring closet, that makes it the safer long-term bet over a generic no-name switch that dies inside a year.
Key Features
-
8 auto-sensing Gigabit ports — every port negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps automatically, so you mix and match device speeds with zero configuration.
-
Auto-MDI/MDIX — any standard Ethernet cable works, straight-through or crossover; no need to think about cable type.
-
External power adapter keeps the switch body thin and light enough for tight wall-mount spaces and cramped shelves.
-
Loop Detection Frame (LDF) automatically disables a port if a network loop is created, preventing the broadcast storms that can take down a whole office network.
-
Eco-friendly power saving — per-port cable-length detection and link-down power savings cut electricity use when ports are idle or unplugged.
-
Fanless, silent operation — safe to sit on a desk, shelf, or wall right next to a workspace with no noise, ever.
-
Lifetime limited warranty backed directly by Allied Telesis.

Who It's For
Home office
One wall jack, several wired devices — PC, NAS, printer, console. Silent and fanless so it can live right on the desk.
Classroom
Add wired drops for teacher stations and lab machines without a managed switch to administer. Plug in and it works.
Small-business closet
Wall-mounts flat thanks to the external PSU, with LDF loop protection guarding against accidental cabling mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a managed and unmanaged switch?
A managed switch lets you log in and configure VLANs, port monitoring, and traffic prioritization. An unmanaged switch like this one has none of that — it's plug-and-play hardware that simply adds more wired ports to your existing network, which is what most home and small-office setups actually need.
Do I need to configure anything after unboxing?
No. This is a fully unmanaged switch — plug in power and Ethernet cables and it starts switching traffic immediately with no software, app, or web login.
Can I connect (daisy-chain) two unmanaged switches together?
Yes. Run a standard Ethernet cable from a port on your existing switch or router into any of the 8 ports here to extend your wired network. Auto-MDI/MDIX means you don't need a special crossover cable. Just avoid creating a physical loop between switches — and if you do, this switch's Loop Detection Frame (LDF) will step in and disable the looped port automatically.
Should I get the /8E, the /8, or the /5?
All three are unmanaged and zero-configuration. The
/8E (this one) uses an external power adapter and sits flatter for wall-mounted installs. The
/8 has the same 8 ports but an internal power supply for a single-cord desktop setup. The
/5 is the 5-port version, for when you only need a few extra wired connections.
What protects against accidental network outages?
Loop Detection Frame (LDF) technology automatically identifies and disables ports involved in a cabling loop, a common cause of full-network slowdowns in small offices.
