Five-port desktop switch

The Linksys EZXS55W-RM is a compact 5-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch designed for small workgroups. It connects up to five computers, printers or storage devices using standard RJ45 cabling. Store-and-forward switching ensures reliable frame delivery across every port. The metal enclosure fits on a desk or mounts in a standard rack.

Replacing hubs or adding ports

This switch replaces older shared-media hubs by giving each connected device its own dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex path. The upgrade is worthwhile when collisions on a hub slow down file transfers or printing. It also adds wired ports to a router that has run out of LAN sockets. Buyers who need gigabit speeds or more than five ports should look elsewhere.

Fast Ethernet limits

The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard caps each port at 100 Mbps, so large backups or modern video streams will saturate the link. Auto-negotiation falls back to 10 Mbps for legacy devices, halving potential throughput. Cable runs must stay within the 100-metre limit for 100BASE-TX. No jumbo-frame or quality-of-service features are supported.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the Linksys EZXS55W-RM so I can check if it fits my shelf?

The switch measures 4.33 inches wide, 3.43 inches deep and 1.26 inches high, weighing 6 oz.

How do I power the unit and which LED should I watch to confirm a 100 Mbps link?

Connect the supplied 7.5 V DC, 700 mA adapter; the per-port 100 LED lights solid when a 100 Mbps connection is active.

Does the internal fan or power supply need periodic replacement on this model?

The unit has no internal fan and uses an external 7.5 V DC adapter; if power fails, replace the adapter rather than the switch.
