Netwerkswitch Renkforce 1423415 – 4-poorts 1 Gbit/s met USB-voeding

Renkforce 1423415 is a compact unmanaged network switch with four Gigabit Ethernet ports designed to expand wired LAN connections in home and small office environments. The device supports 1 Gbit/s on each port, allowing reliable wired connections for desktop PCs, network printers, NAS devices and smart home hubs. Its small footprint and USB power input enable flexible placement without the need for a dedicated DC power adapter.

Advantages

The switch operates without configuration, offering plug-and-play connectivity and automatic link speed and duplex negotiation for each port. With Gigabit throughput on all four ports, it supports fast local transfers and reduces bottlenecks for wired devices. The USB power input simplifies installation options — the unit can be powered from a USB power supply, a powered USB hub or suitable USB ports on other equipment, improving deployment flexibility in cramped or non-permanent setups.

Suitable for

• Home networks requiring additional wired ports for PCs, smart TVs or media players
• Small office or home office setups connecting printers, desktop computers and local storage
• Temporary or portable network expansions where compact size and USB power are preferred
• Smart home installations integrating Ethernet-only devices or access points

Key specifications

• Ports: 4 × RJ45 Ethernet ports
• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s per port (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Operation: Unmanaged, plug-and-play
• Power input: USB power input (requires external USB power source)
• Form factor: Compact desktop design
• Auto features: Auto MDI/MDIX, auto-negotiation for speed and duplex

How to use

Connect Ethernet cables from your router, modem or existing network switch to one of the RJ45 ports and attach additional devices to the remaining ports. Provide power to the switch using a compatible USB power source connected to the device’s USB power input. The switch requires no software configuration; once powered and connected, it will automatically detect link speeds and establish network connections. Place the unit on a flat surface with adequate ventilation and avoid enclosing it in tight spaces during operation.

Recommendations

Use a stable 5 V USB power source capable of supplying sufficient current as specified by the manufacturer to ensure reliable operation. For best performance, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables for Gigabit links and connect to devices that support 1 Gbit/s where possible. Avoid powering the switch from low-current USB ports that may not provide steady power, and position the switch away from strong electromagnetic sources to minimize interference.
