Network switch LOGILINK NS0117 — 8-port Gigabit 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 desktop, black

LOGILINK NS0117 is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch designed to expand wired LAN capacity in home and small office environments. The compact black enclosure houses eight RJ45 ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, enabling straightforward connection of PCs, printers, NAS devices and IP cameras without additional configuration. The device is plug-and-play and intended for desktop placement to provide reliable wired network links and reduce congestion on Wi-Fi networks.

Advantages

The switch offers eight true Gigabit ports for high-throughput wired connections and supports auto-negotiation to match link speed with connected devices. Its compact desktop form factor and fanless design produce low noise and allow flexible placement on or near workstations. Auto-MDI/MDIX removes the need for crossover cables, and the energy-efficient Ethernet features help reduce power consumption during periods of low activity. No management interface or software setup is required, simplifying installation for non-technical users.

Suitable for

• Expanding a home or small office wired network
• Connecting desktop PCs, network printers and NAS storage
• Providing wired links for IP cameras and media players
• Reducing wireless congestion by shifting high-bandwidth devices to wired connections

How to use

Place the LOGILINK NS0117 on a stable surface near your router or network rack and connect the included power adapter to an AC outlet. Use standard Ethernet cables to connect your router or upstream switch to one of the RJ45 ports and then plug client devices—PCs, printers, NAS units, or IP cameras—into the remaining ports. The switch will automatically detect link speeds and configure MDI/MDIX as needed. No software or web interface is required; after powering on, devices should establish network connectivity within seconds.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables for Gigabit links and place the switch in a well-ventilated area to avoid heat buildup. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture and extreme temperatures. When connecting high-traffic devices such as NAS or media servers, ensure upstream router or modem bandwidth is sufficient to handle aggregate throughput to prevent bottlenecks.
