5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch for Home Offices and Workgroups

The energy-efficient NG5-1 network switch connects up to five devices, such as computers, routers, printers and servers, to a Gigabit Ethernet network and allows them to communicate with each other. It's recommended for your home network, small office or data center, workgroup or creative production environment. It helps you share large bandwidth-intensive files, such as CAD drawings and videos, at Gigabit (1000 Mbps/1 Gbps) speeds, improving efficiency and cutting costly downtime.

Maximum Network Functionality

The NG5-1 features five twisted-pair RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX functionality, so crossover cables and uplink ports are not needed for connections to PCs, routers and other switches. No configuration is required, so you can have your Gigabit network up and running immediately. IEEE 802.3x flow control (full duplex) and back pressure (half duplex) allow smooth transmission of large files.

Complies with IEEE Energy Efficient Ethernet Standards

The NG5-1 supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards by automatically shifting unused ports into a low-power state without interrupting network connections. It consumes very little input power-just a single watt. It also meets IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3i and 802.3u standards.

Plug-and-Play Functionality for Easy Use

No configuration is required in setting up the unmanaged NG5-1, so you can have your 10/100/1000 Mbps network up and running immediately. Cat5/5e/6/6a UTP/STP cables (sold separately) provide optimal performance. Easy-to-read LEDs indicate connection and activity status for each port. The NG5-1 supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging for efficient routing.

Heavy-Duty Metal Enclosure with Versatile Installation Options

This rugged switch features a detachable five-foot (1.5-meter) power cord with NEMA 1-15P plug that connects to a protected UPS or standard AC outlet. The housing contains no fan, resulting in silent operation. The NG5-1 is designed for desktop placement, but also features keyhole tabs for optional wall mounting.
