Unmanaged switch Edimax GS-1005E

The Edimax GS-1005E is an unmanaged 5-port Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch designed to upgrade or expand wired networks in homes, small offices and enterprise environments. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds on each RJ-45 port, a MAC address table of 2000 entries and a 10 Gbit/s switching capacity. The compact metal housing is fanless and can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall.

Advantages

The GS-1005E provides full-duplex Gigabit connectivity with up to 2000 Mbps throughput per port and supports 9K jumbo frames to improve large file transfers. It offers plug-and-play ease with Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDI/MDI-X and Flow Control, and uses a store-and-forward architecture to filter fragment and CRC error packets. The switch also complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and includes inactive link and cable-length detection to reduce power consumption.

Suitable for

• Home wired networks and media sharing
• Small office network expansion for desktops and printers
• Workstation and server uplinks requiring Gigabit speeds
• Environments needing a quiet, fanless metal switch with optional wall mounting

How to use

Connect the GS-1005E to a power source using the supplied 5V DC adapter, then plug Ethernet cables from your router, modem or other network devices into the RJ-45 ports. The device is plug-and-play and requires no configuration. For optimal performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables to support Gigabit speeds and enable full-duplex operation where supported by connected devices.

Recommendations

Place the switch on a flat surface or mount it on a wall using the mounting slots. Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area despite the fanless design, and use high-quality Ethernet cables to ensure reliable Gigabit connections. The energy-saving features will reduce power draw when links are inactive.
