D-Link GO-SW-5G/E - 5-port gigabit switch, white

The D-Link GO-SW-5G/E 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch expands a local wired network without requiring software configuration. This plug-and-play device connects hardware such as network storage and computers to an existing network. It features five RJ-45 ports to connect several wired devices at once. Each port supports data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbit/s. Operating at Layer 2, the switch forwards data automatically using hardware MAC addresses. Connectivity is established by inserting standard cables, requiring no ongoing network management.

Housed in a white plastic desktop chassis, the 5-port switch fits on any flat surface in home or office environments. It measures 94 x 75 x 22.45 mm and weighs 75 g, maintaining a compact footprint. The hardware is fanless, ensuring silent operation in quiet workspaces. LED indicators on the exterior show the status of each port. A single DC-in jack powers the unit, which draws a maximum of 2.87 W under load. Reliability is supported by a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 1,152,221 hours.

• 10 Gbit/s switching capacity processes network traffic across all connections simultaneously to avoid bottlenecks.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX support removes the need for crossover cables by automatically detecting the correct connection type for every port.
• 2000-entry MAC address table provides sufficient memory to track and route data within small-scale setups.
• Quality of Service (QoS) functionality prioritises time-sensitive traffic to maintain stable performance for applications requiring lower latency.
• 9216-byte jumbo frames accommodate larger data packets to improve transfer efficiency between compatible devices.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet compliance reduces power consumption during periods of low activity.
• 0.128 MB packet buffer memory stores incoming data to manage 802.3x flow control and reduce packet loss during network congestion.
