Five Gigabit ports in a metal case

This NETGEAR ProSafe NW905G1 switch provides five 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX. A 10 Gbps switching capacity lets every connected device run at full gigabit speed simultaneously. The sturdy metal housing dissipates heat without a fan for silent operation. It is ready for desktop or wall mounting.

Home and small-office networks needing simple

The unmanaged, plug-and-play design suits users who want instant connectivity without configuration. MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging handle traffic automatically. IEEE 802.3x flow control and 9216-byte jumbo frames support stable full-duplex transfers. Buyers who need managed features, PoE power output, or uplink ports faster than 100 Mbps should look elsewhere.

Connects directly to routers, PCs.

Each port accepts standard Ethernet cables up to 1000 Mbps with no crossover cables required. The switch draws minimal power and adds no software overhead to the network. Its fanless metal chassis fits tight spaces on a shelf or wall bracket. The five-port limit means larger installations will need additional switches or a higher-port-count model.

Questions about this item

What cables do I need to connect devices to the five RJ45 ports on this NETGEAR ProSafe NW905G1 switch?

Standard Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs are all that is required; the ports support Auto MDI/MDIX so crossover cables are not needed.

Will my older 10/100 Mbps network cards work alongside gigabit devices plugged into this switch?

Yes, each port auto-negotiates to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, so legacy 10/100 adapters and gigabit gear operate together without configuration.

How can I verify the switch is forwarding traffic at gigabit speed after I plug everything in?

Check the port LEDs — they indicate link speed; a steady or blinking light for 1000 Mbps confirms gigabit operation on that connection.
