Network switch LOGILINK NS0114 1 Gbps – unmanaged Ethernet switch, 8 ports, desktop

LOGILINK NS0114 is an unmanaged 1 Gbps Ethernet switch with eight RJ45 ports in a compact desktop housing. It extends wired LAN capacity for home and small office networks, enabling straightforward connection of PCs, printers, NAS devices and other Ethernet equipment. The device provides plug-and-play operation and automatic link speed/duplex negotiation to simplify setup and deliver full-duplex gigabit performance where supported.

Advantages

The switch offers eight gigabit ports in a small desktop footprint, allowing easy expansion of wired networks without configuration or management. Auto MDI/MDIX on each port eliminates the need for crossover cables, while auto-negotiation matches connected device speeds up to 1 Gbps for optimized throughput. The passive design requires no software maintenance and provides stable, low-latency switching suitable for typical office and home applications.

Suitable for

• Expanding wired LAN for small offices and home networks
• Connecting desktop PCs, network printers and NAS devices
• Setting up simple workgroups or point-of-sale terminals
• Temporary or permanent additions to existing network infrastructure

Key specifications

• Port count: 8 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports
• Operation mode: Unmanaged, plug-and-play
• Switching capacity: Gigabit switching on each port with auto-negotiation
• Auto MDI/MDIX: Yes (automatic crossover detection)
• Form factor: Desktop, compact enclosure
• Indicators: LED status indicators for link/activity and power
• Power: External power adapter (desktop power supply)

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface near your router, modem or network devices. Connect the power adapter and ensure the power LED is on. Use standard Ethernet cables to connect computers, printers, NAS or other devices to any available RJ45 ports; the switch will automatically detect link speed and enable communication. No special configuration is required—devices obtain network access through the switch when connected to an upstream router or gateway that provides IP addressing.

Usage recommendations

Install the switch in a ventilated, dry area away from heat sources. Use CAT5e or CAT6 cables to achieve full 1 Gbps performance on supported devices. For networks requiring VLANs, QoS or remote management, consider a managed switch instead; for straightforward LAN expansion, this unmanaged gigabit switch provides a reliable and simple solution.
