UGREEN eight-port gigabit switch with its adapter supplied review
An eight-port gigabit switch whose Amazon.com page states its size and that a power adapter is supplied, and never says whether it is managed, how it is cooled, what it is made of or how it mounts.
Amazon.com listed it on October 26, 2026, but no current offer passed our price check, so no price is quoted. The Amazon.com page exists, but nobody was selling the unit; a listing in that state is often a third-party import.
Models on this shelf that Amazon.com did sell on that date:
The title: UGREEN gigabit Ethernet switch, 8 ports, RJ45, 10/100/1000 Mbps, plug and play. The bullets: eight ports, with a note to connect the supplied power adapter; full- and half-duplex modes, automatic MDI/MDIX and automatic speed adjustment; no drivers or configuration; compatibility with computers, consoles, printers and cameras, with cable runs kept under 100 m; and a size of 125 × 57 × 24 mm with space between the sockets. There is no description.

The questions that come up before an order
Does it need a power adapter?
Yes, and it is supplied: the first bullet asks the buyer to connect the supplied power adapter when the switch is used.
How long can the cables be?
The fourth bullet advises against network cables longer than 100 m, which is the Ethernet limit for copper.
Our score
7.2/ 10

eight gigabit sockets · metal case · IEEE 802.1p QoS · D-Link Green power saving · no fan, mounting or power statement
An eight-port gigabit switch in a metal case whose Amazon.com bullets are a model number, a package size, a weight and a material, with 802.1p QoS and power saving in the description.
Best for: A buyer who already knows the DGS-108 and wants a metal-cased unmanaged-style switch with 802.1p QoS.
eight gigabit sockets · unmanaged · fanless · desk or wall · 3-year warranty · metal in the title, plastic in a bullet
An unmanaged, fanless eight-port gigabit switch whose Amazon.com page states a three-year warranty and wire-speed switching, and calls its case sturdy metal in the title and plastic in a bullet.
Best for: A desk or wall-mounted unmanaged switch where a three-year warranty is wanted, once an offer is listed again.
eight gigabit sockets · white plastic case · desk or wall · mains plug supplied · "a few fans" · management software claimed for a plug-and-play unit
An eight-port gigabit switch in a white plastic case whose Amazon.com page claims quiet running with "a few fans", and management software with QoS, IGMP and VLAN on a unit sold as plug and play.
Best for: Hard to recommend from this page: a buyer would need to confirm with the seller whether it has fans and whether it can be configured.
