NETGEAR GS305EP - Switch, Black

This unmanaged switch requires no configuration and expands wired network capacity immediately. The NETGEAR GS305EP-100PES 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus PoE+ Switch (4x PoE+, 63W) functions as a simple plug-and-play device. It features five Gigabit ports, four of which support PoE with a total power budget of 63 W. Using standard Ethernet protocols, the device connects multiple endpoints without manual setup. Integrated Power over Ethernet capabilities allow data and power to be transmitted over a single cable. The unit handles traffic at gigabit speeds, maintaining stable links to computers, access points, or storage drives. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters when deploying compatible remote hardware.

The 5-port model is housed in a black desktop chassis, making it suitable for confined spaces. Measuring 158 x 101 x 27 mm and weighing 390 g, it occupies a small footprint on any flat surface. Built-in LED indicators show the connection status and interface activity. The hardware is designed for continuous operation and has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,164,104 hours. An external power adapter connects via a standard DC-in jack to power both the switch and downstream devices. Dual mounting options allow for secure wall placement, helping to keep cabling away from active work areas. The package includes an AC cable and everything required for installation.

• 10 Gbit/s switching capacity allows for high throughput across all active connections.
• IEEE 802.3at/af compliance ensures compatibility with powered devices such as surveillance cameras and VoIP phones.
• 9,216-byte jumbo frame support reduces transmission overhead during large file transfers.
• 4,000-entry MAC address table manages local communications in small business environments.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during high traffic periods by regulating data transmission between nodes.
