Everyday Gigabit Connectivity in a Small Desktop Footprint The D-Link DGS-1005A is a 5-port gigabit unmanaged switch for a home, study or compact workspace needing simple Gigabit network expansion. Connect compatible devices to expand the wired side of your existing network. There is no management console to configure for everyday switching. Connect the power supply and Ethernet cables, and automatic link negotiation selects a supported speed for each attached device. Highlights Connections That Match Your Network 5 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 10 Gbps switching capacity Automatic 10/100/1000Mbps negotiation Practical Everyday Operation Fanless compact desktop housing Plug-and-play switching without management software Non-PoE network ports Built for a Tidy Workspace 94 × 75 × 22.45 mm chassis 5V DC / 1A external adapter; 2-pin plug 3-year warranty Key Features Expand a Wired Network Simply Use the 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect PCs, printers, storage and other wired devices. One port normally connects to the existing router or upstream switch, leaving the remaining ports for local equipment. Let Each Device Negotiate Its Link Auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX simplify mixed-speed connections and remove the need to choose crossover cables. The switch forwards Ethernet traffic locally while your existing router continues to provide routing, internet access and DHCP services. Keep Installation Straightforward Place the compact switch on a stable surface with adequate ventilation. Its wired ports carry data only; cameras, access points and other PoE-powered devices need a suitable separate power source or a PoE switch. Reduce Unnecessary Power Use Energy-saving features reduce unnecessary consumption as network activity changes. The fanless design avoids fan noise beside a desk, making the switch suitable for workspaces where simple, quiet operation matters. Choose the Right Device for the Job DGS-1005A provides wired switching, not Wi-Fi or PoE power. Choose this model when straightforward wired expansion is the priority; use a managed switch if you need configurable VLANs or link aggregation. Summary Choose the D-Link DGS-1005A for a home, study or compact workspace needing simple Gigabit network expansion. Its straightforward installation and compact design provide a practical foundation for the wired network, with performance matched to compatible equipment and cabling. Frequently Asked Questions What ports does the DGS-1005A provide?ExpandCollapse 5 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45. Each connection negotiates a supported speed with the attached device. Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?ExpandCollapse It is an unmanaged switch designed for plug-and-play use. It does not provide a configurable VLAN or link-aggregation management interface. Will it increase my broadband speed?ExpandCollapse It can improve supported local wired links, but it does not change the speed of your internet plan. Internet and file-transfer performance also depend on the router, cable, network adapter and connected storage. Can it power cameras or wireless access points?ExpandCollapse No. These are non-PoE data ports. A device requiring PoE needs an appropriately rated injector or PoE switch, or its own supported power adapter. What should I check before connecting my devices?ExpandCollapse Check the Ethernet speeds supported by your devices, use suitable network cabling and keep the switch ventilated. A compatible router is still required for internet access. Is it fanless and what warranty is provided?ExpandCollapse Fanless compact desktop housing. A 3-year warranty is provided. Baca selengkapnya
