MERCUSYS MS105GS 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

MERCUSYS MS105GS 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch is an unmanaged network switch designed to expand the number of wired Ethernet connections available on a home, small-office, or similar network. It features five 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 ports, allowing compatible devices to connect to the same wired network without requiring software configuration.

The MS105GS uses a plug-and-play design, so users can connect Ethernet cables and expand their wired network without configuring the switch. It supports Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX, allowing the ports to automatically detect compatible connection speeds and cable types.

Its 10 Gbps switching capacity, store-and-forward transmission, and 802.3x flow control provide the underlying hardware capabilities for Gigabit Ethernet networking. The switch also supports IEEE 802.1p/DSCP QoS and IGMP Snooping V1/V2/V3 according to the current MERCUSYS V2 specifications.

The MS105GS features a durable metal enclosure, fanless operation, and desktop or wall-mount installation, making it suitable for compact networking setups where silent operation is preferred. Its Green Ethernet technology can adjust power consumption according to link status and cable length.

Important Speed Limitation

Speed Limitation: The MS105GS supports Gigabit Ethernet link speeds of up to 1000 Mbps per port, but the actual data-transfer speed depends on the connected devices, Ethernet cables, network traffic, and other network conditions.

The advertised 10 Gbps switching capacity represents the switch’s aggregate switching capacity across its ports; it does not mean that a single device or single Ethernet connection can transfer data at 10 Gbps.

For Gigabit Ethernet operation, MERCUSYS specifies Cat5e or better cabling for 1000BASE-T connections, with a maximum cable length of 100 meters under the specified conditions. ([turn405431search12])

Compatibility

The MERCUSYS MS105GS is compatible with Ethernet devices supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps connections.

Compatible devices include:

• Desktop computers
• Laptops with Ethernet ports
• Smart TVs
• Game consoles
• Printers
• IP cameras
• Network storage devices
• Wi-Fi routers and access points

The switch can be connected to an existing router or network to provide additional wired Ethernet ports. It requires no software installation or switch configuration for normal operation.
