Five 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports

This unmanaged switch provides five copper ports that each run at up to 2.5 Gbps, giving a total switching capacity of 25 Gbps. It is built for desktop or wall mounting and uses a fanless enclosure for silent operation. Setup requires only a power connection and Ethernet cables, with no software to configure.

Homes and small offices adding multi-gig wired links

The switch suits users who want faster-than-gigabit connections for a gaming PC, console, NAS or Wi-Fi access point without managing VLANs or link aggregation. Buyers who need managed features such as VLAN tagging, SLA prioritisation or a metal chassis should look at a different class of switch.

2.5 Gbps per port over Cat5e cabling

Every port auto-negotiates up to 2.5 Gbps and works with existing Cat5e cables, so no rewiring is required. The Realtek controller handles 9216-byte jumbo frames and a 768 KB buffer to keep latency low during sustained transfers.
