Gigabit 5-Port Switch GOOBAY 64563, 5 x RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbps, unmanaged, white

The Gigabit 5-Port Switch GOOBAY 64563 is an unmanaged, plug-and-play network switch with five RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps wired Ethernet. Intended for small offices, home networks or compact workspaces, the device expands wired LAN capacity without configuration. It provides automatic link detection and MDI/MDIX crossover correction so connected devices such as PCs, printers and NAS can communicate at appropriate speeds. The white compact enclosure is suitable for placement in limited spaces and for straightforward integration into existing network setups.

Advantages

The switch operates without software or configuration, enabling immediate deployment. All five ports support Gigabit speeds for high-throughput connections where supported, while backward compatibility with 10/100 Mbps devices ensures mixed-speed networks function seamlessly. Auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDIX remove the need for crossover cables or manual port settings. The compact footprint and passive design simplify installation in small rooms, behind routers or near workstation clusters.

Suitable for

• Expanding wired LAN in home networks
• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and network-attached storage in a small office
• Adding extra Ethernet ports near a router or modem
• Temporary network setups for events or testing
• Environments requiring simple, maintenance-free switches

How to use

Place the switch on a stable, ventilated surface near your router or network devices. Connect the switch to your router or modem using a standard Ethernet cable plugged into any RJ45 port; the switch will establish link and negotiate the appropriate speed automatically. Attach additional devices—PCs, printers, NAS—using Ethernet cables to the remaining ports. Power the switch using the supplied power adapter and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm connections. No software configuration is required for basic operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or higher-rated Ethernet cables to achieve Gigabit speeds. Locate the switch away from heat sources and ensure adequate airflow around the unit. If connecting high-bandwidth devices such as NAS or media servers, connect them to different ports and verify that upstream router or modem links also support Gigabit throughput to avoid bottlenecks.
