NETGEAR MS305E - 5-port 2.5 Gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switch, black

This unmanaged switch is designed for plug-and-play network expansion. The NETGEAR MS305E-100EUS 5-port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet switch connects high-bandwidth devices using its five 2.5 Gbit/s RJ45 ports. These ports are compatible with 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps devices, allowing for mixed-speed network configurations. By exceeding the limitations of standard Gigabit hardware, the switch supports faster local file transfers and modern NAS systems. Traffic is forwarded automatically, providing a straightforward way to add wired connections to a network.

The unit features a metal chassis measuring 158 x 101 x 27 mm and weighing 450 g. It can be placed on a desk or wall-mounted. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for home or office environments. Front-facing LEDs display power and link status for quick diagnostics. The switch is rated for a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 4,273,000 hours and consumes a maximum of 5.6 W under full load.

• 40 Gbit/s total switching capacity for non-blocking data forwarding across all ports.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX automatically detects cable types, removing the need for crossover cables.
• Supports jumbo frames up to 12,288 bytes to improve efficiency during large file transfers.
• 16,000-entry MAC address table to accommodate growing networks.
• 3.72 Mpps forwarding rate to maintain throughput during high traffic.
• Low 4.9 µs latency on Gigabit links for fast response times in real-time applications and data requests.
