Ethernet Switch WENTRONIC 5-Port Gigabit (Goobay 64563) 10/100/1000 Mbps, unmanaged

The Ethernet Switch WENTRONIC 5-Port Gigabit (Goobay 64563) is an unmanaged network switch designed to expand wired Ethernet connectivity. It provides five RJ45 ports that support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, enabling full Gigabit throughput where connected devices and cabling support it. The device is plug-and-play and requires no configuration, with Auto MDI/MDIX detection and support for full and half duplex modes to simplify integration into small office or home network setups.

Advantages

The switch delivers reliable wired connections with low latency and simple installation. Its unmanaged design eliminates the need for setup or management software, while Auto MDI/MDIX ensures straightforward connection to different network equipment without crossover cables. Compact form factor and five Gigabit-capable ports allow for flexible placement and connection of multiple devices such as PCs, printers, NAS units, and media players.

Suitable for

• Small office networks requiring additional Ethernet ports
• Home networks for wired internet access and media streaming
• Connecting desktop computers, printers, IP cameras, and network storage
• Expanding router ports without changing network configuration

Key specifications

• Ports: 5 × RJ45 copper ports
• Data rates: 10/100/1000 Mbps per port (auto-negotiation)
• Operation: Unmanaged, plug-and-play
• Auto features: Auto MDI/MDIX, auto-negotiation
• Duplex modes: Full and half duplex support
• Form factor: Compact desktop unit for installation on a shelf or desk

How to use

Connect the switch to a power source if external power is required, then plug Ethernet cables from your router, modem, or other network device into any of the RJ45 ports. Attach additional devices such as computers, printers, NAS devices, or IP cameras to the remaining ports. The switch will automatically negotiate link speed and duplex settings with each connected device, and traffic will be forwarded without further configuration. Place the unit in a well-ventilated area to ensure normal operating temperature.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use good-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables to achieve Gigabit speeds, and ensure end devices support 1 Gbps where high throughput is required. Avoid placing the switch near large heat sources or in confined, unventilated spaces. If using with a router or modem, connect the upstream device to any port; the unmanaged switch will extend the network without additional settings.
