D-Link DES-1005C 5 Port 10/100M Ethernet Network Switch

Setting up a reliable wired network does not have to be complicated. The D-Link DES-1005C 5 Port Fast Ethernet Switch lets you turn one network connection into five, so your PCs, printers and other wired devices can all stay online together at 10/100 Mbps speed.

It is a plug-and-play unmanaged switch, which means there is nothing to configure. Just connect your cables and start working. If you have been looking for a dependable D-Link switch for a home office, shop or small business, this compact desktop model is an economical way to expand your network.

Every port auto-negotiates its speed and cable type, so you can connect devices without worrying about crossover cables or manual settings.

Key Features

• Five 10/100 Mbps LAN ports: Connect up to five wired devices at once and get a quick upgrade to Fast Ethernet speed.
• Plug-and-play unmanaged design: No software or setup is needed, so anyone can install it in minutes.
• Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports: Ports detect the cable type automatically, so you can use standard straight-through cables without crossover worries.
• Auto-negotiation on every port: Each port selects the best speed and duplex mode for the connected device, which keeps connections smooth.
• Store-and-forward switching: The switch checks each data packet before passing it on, which helps keep traffic reliable and reduces the spread of corrupted frames.
• Wire-speed reception and transmission: Data moves through the ports at full line rate, so the switch does not slow down your network.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Helps cut power use when ports are idle, which is good for always-on setups.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control and back pressure: Helps manage traffic bursts so data is not lost when a port gets busy.
• 2,048-byte jumbo frame support: Handles slightly larger frames for more efficient data transfer.
• Compact desktop size: At just 87 x 47.85 x 21.7 mm, it fits easily on a desk or shelf.
