NETGEAR ProSafe GS105NA 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

Five Gigabit ports for small networks

This NETGEAR ProSafe GS105NA switch provides five Gigabit Ethernet ports in a compact desktop or wall-mountable housing. It operates as an unmanaged switch, so no configuration or software installation is required. The fanless design ensures silent operation suitable for quiet offices or home workspaces. Energy-efficient IEEE802.3az compliance reduces power consumption during low-traffic periods.

Step up from Fast Ethernet uplinks

The switch replaces older 10/100 Mbps uplinks with five ports capable of 1000 Mbps throughput, eliminating a common bottleneck for file transfers and streaming. Jumbo frame support up to 9216 bytes and a 768 KB buffer improve efficiency for larger data payloads. The upgrade is worthwhile when existing cabling and devices already support Gigabit speeds but the current switch limits them to 100 Mbps.

Ideal for plug-and-play expansion

This unit suits users who need immediate, silent port expansion without management overhead — small offices, home labs, or branch rooms adding a few wired devices. It is not for buyers who require VLANs, QoS, PoE power delivery, or SFP fiber uplinks, nor for installations needing rack-mount brackets or managed monitoring capabilities.
