Network switch Avaya AL1001A15-E5 1 Gbps, unmanaged, 1 Gbps ports

Avaya AL1001A15-E5 is a compact unmanaged network switch that delivers 1 Gbps wired connectivity for basic Ethernet needs. Designed for small offices, home networks and small workgroups, this switch provides straightforward plug-and-play operation to expand a wired LAN. With full 1 Gbps port speed per connection, it enables reliable data transfer for typical office devices such as computers, printers and IP phones without requiring configuration or network management tools.

Advantages

The unmanaged design ensures easy installation: connect power and Ethernet cables and the switch operates immediately with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on each port. Gigabit ports provide consistent throughput for file transfers, backups and multimedia streaming over the LAN. The switch's compact form factor supports flexible placement in tight spaces, and the fanless construction reduces noise while simplifying maintenance.

Suitable for

• Small office and home office wired networks
• Desktop expansion for additional wired devices (computers, printers, IP phones)
• Temporary network extension for meetings, workshops or events
• Basic wired connectivity in retail points of sale and small branches

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface near your router or network outlet. Connect the supplied power adapter to a standard AC outlet and plug the adapter into the switch. Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to connect computers, printers or other network devices to the switch ports and link one port to your router or modem if Internet access is required. The switch will automatically negotiate link speed and duplex with connected devices, so no additional configuration is necessary. Monitor link/activity LEDs to verify connections and troubleshoot cable issues.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables and distribute bandwidth-sensitive devices across ports to avoid local congestion. Place the switch in a well-ventilated area and avoid stacking other equipment directly on top to maintain passive cooling. For networks that require VLANs, QoS or remote management, consider a managed switch model instead of an unmanaged device.
