LogiLink Switch 5 Port GB Ethernet 5x10/100/1000 RJ45 Desktop schwarz

The LogiLink Switch 5 Port GB Ethernet is a compact desktop switch with five RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation. Designed for small office and home environments, the device enables straightforward expansion of wired networks to connect computers, printers, network-attached storage and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The metal/plastic housing and plug-and-play operation provide a simple way to add reliable gigabit connections without additional configuration.

Advantages

The switch offers five gigabit ports that support full-duplex transmission and automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection, reducing the need for special cabling. Its unmanaged design requires no software setup or network management, making installation fast and error-free. Compact desktop form factor saves space and can be placed near workstations or network hardware. Energy-efficient operation reduces power consumption during idle periods while maintaining stable throughput for typical office workloads.

Suitable for

• Expanding wired networks in small offices and home offices
• Connecting desktop PCs, VoIP phones and network printers
• Creating a fast local network for file sharing and backups
• Adding additional Ethernet ports to routers or gateways with limited ports

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 5 RJ45 ports
• Data rates: 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation
• Duplex: Half and full duplex support with auto MDI/MDIX
• Form factor: Desktop compact design
• Operation: Unmanaged switch, plug-and-play
• LED indicators: Link/activity per port and power status

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface near your router or existing network equipment. Connect the switch to your router or modem using a standard Ethernet cable into any uplink or regular port. Plug network devices into the remaining RJ45 ports using Cat5e or better cables to achieve gigabit speeds. Connect the supplied power adapter to the switch and a mains outlet; the device will power up automatically and the port LEDs will indicate link and activity status. No software configuration is required for typical use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables and ensure connected devices support gigabit Ethernet. Place the switch in a well-ventilated area and avoid stacking equipment directly on top of it. For environments with frequent high traffic or advanced traffic management needs, consider a managed switch with QoS and VLAN features instead of an unmanaged model.
