Netgear GS105 5 Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch BlueNETGEARGS105UK

The NETGEAR GS105 is a high-performance 5-port Gigabit unmanaged switch designed to provide a cost-effective and reliable way for small businesses or home users to expand their network. This ProSAFE desktop switch delivers Gigabit speeds that are up to ten times faster than standard Fast Ethernet, making it ideal for moving large files instantly across a network. 

Its plug-and-play design requires no configuration, allowing for the seamless integration of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices. The sturdy, compact metal casing is space-efficient and can be placed on a desk or mounted to a wall to suit any workspace layout.

Efficiency and durability are central to the GS105 design. It features an energy-saving mode that automatically powers down unused ports, resulting in up to 60 per cent lower power consumption compared to standard switches. 

The fanless construction ensures completely silent operation, while the internal architecture supports 802.1p traffic prioritisation and jumbo frames for smooth performance in more demanding network environments. Each port is equipped with built-in LEDs within the RJ-45 jacks, providing at-a-glance monitoring of link status, speed, and activity.
