D-Link DES-1005C/B 5-Port 10/100Base-T Unmanaged Switch

D-Link DES-1005C/B 5-Port 10/100Base-T Unmanaged Switch

The D-Link DES-1005C/B provides essential network expansion for small office and home environments requiring additional Ethernet connections. This 5-port unmanaged switch delivers plug-and-play functionality that eliminates complex configuration procedures. Additionally, the switch supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps data transmission speeds with automatic negotiation that optimizes connection parameters for each connected device.

Compact desktop design fits easily into limited workspace areas while providing reliable network connectivity for multiple devices. The switch operates silently without cooling fans, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as home offices and study areas. Furthermore, the energy-efficient operation reduces power consumption compared to larger managed switching solutions.

Auto-sensing technology automatically detects connection speeds and duplex modes for each port, ensuring optimal performance across diverse device types. The DES-1005C/B incorporates store-and-forward switching architecture that prevents data collisions and maintains network integrity. Moreover, the switch includes LED indicators that provide visual confirmation of power status and active connections for easy troubleshooting.
