Tripp-Lite NG5-1 | 5-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Metal Enclosure

The energy-efficient NG5-1 network switch connects up to five devices, such as computers, routers, printers and servers, to a Gigabit Ethernet network and allows them to communicate with each other. It’s recommended for your home network, small office or data center, workgroup or creative production environment. It helps you share large bandwidth-intensive files, such as CAD drawings and videos, at Gigabit (1000 Mbps/1 Gbps) s peeds, improving efficiency and cutting costly downtime.

The NG5-1 features five twisted-pair RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX functionality, so crossover cablesand uplink ports are not needed for connections to PCs, routers and other switches. No configuration is required, so you can have your Gigabit network up and running immediately. IEEE 802.3x flow control (full duplex) and back pressure (half duplex) al low smooth transmission of large files.

The NG5-1 supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards by automatically shifting unused ports into a low-power state without interrupting netwrk connections. It consumes very little input power-just a single watt. It also meets IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3i and 802.3u standards.
