Plug-and-play 8-port Fast Ethernet switch

The MANHATTAN 560689 adds eight RJ45 ports to a home or small office network without any configuration. It supports 10 and 100 Mbps speeds on every port and works with Windows and Macintosh systems. The fanless, ultra-compact chassis runs silently on a desk or shelf. Green Ethernet technology powers down unused ports to reduce energy draw.

Cabling and power requirements

Verify that your devices use RJ45 connectors and Cat3, Cat4 or Cat5 UTP or STP cable. Each port auto-negotiates speed and MDI/MDX crossover, so no special uplink cables are needed. The unit ships with an external 5 V 0.6 A AC adapter that must reach a mains socket. Operating temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C with 10 % to 90 % non-condensing humidity.

Silent desktop build and daily use

The metal enclosure measures 138 mm wide, 50 mm deep and 26.5 mm high, fitting tight spaces without a fan. Front-panel LEDs show power, link/activity and 100 Mbps status for quick troubleshooting. Store-and-forward switching handles 14,880 packets per second at 10BaseT. Buyers needing gigabit throughput or managed features such as VLANs or QoS should choose a different switch.

Questions about this item

Does the box include everything needed to connect eight devices, or must I buy cables or a power supply separately?

The package contains the 8-port switch, an external 5 V 0.6 A power adapter and a user manual. Ethernet cables are not included and must be purchased separately.

This model only lists one port speed — are there other versions with Gigabit ports I should consider?

This specific model, MPN 560689, provides eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports only. No Gigabit or other speed variants exist under this part number.

The headline says 10/100 Mbps — what throughput will I actually see when the switch is in a live network?

Each port negotiates 10 or 100 Mbps full-duplex, giving up to 200 Mbps per port. The switch fabric forwards at 14,880 packets per second for 10 Mbps traffic and proportionally for 100 Mbps.
