NETGEAR GS305E-100PES - 5-port Gigabit Ethernet managed switch, black

The NETGEAR GS305E-100PES 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Managed Plus Smart Switch expands wired network capacity. It is a plug-and-play device that requires no configuration for immediate local connectivity. It features 5 RJ45 ports for standard networking applications. Each connection supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, and the device manages traffic with a total switching capacity of 10 Gbit/s. It connects via standard Ethernet cabling, requiring no specialized adapters.

The 5-port switch is housed in a black chassis measuring 94 x 100 x 27 mm. It weighs 250 g, making it suitable for placement on office desks or workstations. Operation is silent, with a rated noise level of 0 dB. Front-facing LED indicators show Activity, Link, Power, Speed, and System status. The hardware has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2,531,294 hours. As it does not support rack-mounting, this model is intended for desktop use.

• Supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes for large file transfers.
• Maintains an 8000-entry MAC address table to route packets to specific hardware endpoints.
• Utilises IEEE 802.3x flow control to regulate data transmission and prevent packet loss during heavy network traffic.
• Complies with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard to reduce power consumption when network links are idle.
• Compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet LAN, allowing legacy devices to operate alongside Gigabit hardware.
