SW5-GW - Overview

5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with Wall Mount Bracket

The SW5-GW is a compact, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch equipped with five auto-speed-sensing 10/100/1000Mbps ports. The switch will automatically negotiate with its connected partners on the network speed and duplex mode. The SW5-GW is perfect for segmenting large networks into smaller connected subnets for improved performance or expanding the number of ports in an AV cabinet where only one CAT5e cable is located.

The SW5-GW delivers a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion issue. It supports auto MDI / MDI-X function as well as 12k jumbo frames, which mean better network performance because the switch can send more data at the same time. Each port could be used to connect to another switch or hub with no crossover RJ-45 cable.

The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all network protocols. Its heavy duty metal chassis design provides for proper cooling and makes it easy to place on a desk, in a structured media panel or mount on a wall. In addition, the fan-less design results in silent operation, which is especially important when it is located in an AV cabinet.
