NETGEAR MS305-100EUS - 5-port 2.5 gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switch, black

This unmanaged switch requires no configuration and serves as a plug-and-play solution for expanding wired network capacity. The NETGEAR MS305-100EUS 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch features five RJ-45 ports for connecting local hardware. Each interface supports speeds up to 2.5 Gbit/s to accommodate high-bandwidth devices. Connected devices automatically negotiate to operate at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 2.5 Gbps. As a Layer 2 device, the setup process consists simply of connecting standard network cables. It functions as an immediate hardware upgrade for networks currently limited to standard Gigabit speeds.

The desktop model features a metal chassis, measures 158 x 101 x 29 mm, and weighs 480 g. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for residential or office environments. Front-facing LEDs indicate link status and network activity. The switch can be placed on a desk or wall-mounted to help keep cables tidy and clear workspace surfaces. The internal components are rated for long-term reliability with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,401,743 hours. Power consumption is efficient, peaking at 9.24 W under full operational load.

• 25 Gbit/s switching capacity maintains full-speed data transmission across all ports simultaneously.
• 16,000-entry MAC address table supports larger local area networks.
• 9,720-byte jumbo frame support improves file transfer efficiency by reducing packet overhead.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX automatically detects cable types, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
• Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes latency-sensitive traffic over standard data streams.
• 1 MB packet buffer memory handles temporary data bursts to prevent dropped connections.
