Switch Cisco CBS110-5T-D-EU 5-port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch, desktop

Cisco CBS110-5T-D-EU is an unmanaged 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for straightforward, plug-and-play network expansion. The device offers five 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports to connect desktop PCs, printers, NAS devices and IP peripherals without the need for configuration or management software. Housed in a compact desktop chassis, this switch is intended for small offices, home offices and retail environments that require reliable wired connectivity and low-latency performance for everyday network tasks.

Advantages

The switch provides full-duplex Gigabit speeds on all ports and supports auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX, enabling simple cable and device compatibility without manual configuration. Its unmanaged design eliminates setup complexity while maintaining consistent data throughput for connected devices. The compact form factor and fanless operation reduce noise and make it suitable for workspaces where space and quiet operation matter.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops in small office or home office environments
• Linking networked printers and NAS devices for shared access and backups
• Expanding wired ports for point-of-sale terminals and retail peripherals
• Providing a simple wired backbone for multimedia streaming and conferencing

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 5 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps)
• Device type: Unmanaged switch (plug-and-play operation)
• Port features: Auto-negotiation, Auto MDI/MDIX
• Form factor: Desktop, compact and fanless design
• Performance: Full-duplex Gigabit throughput on each port

How to use

Place the switch on a stable, ventilated surface near your router or network closet. Connect the switch to your existing network by plugging an Ethernet cable from your router or upstream switch into any RJ45 port. Attach devices such as PCs, printers or NAS units to the remaining ports using standard Ethernet cables. The switch requires no configuration—power it on and the ports will negotiate link speed automatically. Monitor link/activity LEDs on the front panel to verify successful connections and data activity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or higher rated Ethernet cables and ensure connected devices are configured for Gigabit operation where supported. Place the switch away from sources of heat and moisture, and avoid blocking ventilation around the chassis. For networks requiring VLANs, QoS or advanced management, consider a managed switch model instead of an unmanaged device.
