Five Gigabit ports for desktop or wall mounting

The DGS-105 is an unmanaged switch with five auto-negotiating RJ45 ports that deliver up to 1000 Mbps each. It connects PCs, consoles, NAS devices, printers, cameras and mesh nodes using Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6A cabling up to 100 metres. Zero-configuration plug-and-play setup with auto MDI/MDIX makes it suitable for home offices and small business networks.

1000 Mbps per port non-blocking switching

The internal switching engine provides 10 Gbps non-blocking throughput so every port can run at full duplex simultaneously. Jumbo frame support up to 9216 bytes and a packet forwarding rate of 2000 megabits per second keep large file transfers and multicast streams moving without congestion.

Fanless steel chassis runs silently

The all-metal housing dissipates heat passively for whisper-quiet operation in bedrooms, studios and offices. Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption by up to 80 percent on idle ports and adjusts for cable length. Built-in surge and ESD protection rated at ±4 kV helps the switch withstand everyday power spikes.

Questions about this item

What does the 1000 Mbps port speed deliver when the switch is installed in a real network?

Each of the five ports negotiates up to 1 Gbps full duplex, giving 2 Gbps of simultaneous up-and-down throughput per connection for PCs, consoles, NAS boxes, printers, cameras or mesh nodes.

Which Ethernet standard governs the RJ45 interfaces and what practical limit does it set?

The ports follow IEEE 802.3 for 10/100/1000 Mbps over Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6A UTP cable runs to 100 m, with auto MDI/MDIX removing any crossover-cable guesswork.

What physical mounting options does the metal chassis provide?

The all-steel case includes rubber feet for desktop use and keyhole slots for wall mounting, and the power adapter is included in the box.
