D-link Systems Inc DMS-105 5-port Multi-gig Switch

Product Description

The D-LINK SYSTEMS INC DMS-105 is a 5-port multi-gigabit unmanaged desktop switch designed for small office and workgroup network environments. It provides multiple high-speed copper ports capable of supporting gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds, allowing network professionals and IT installers to increase bandwidth on existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling without a full infrastructure overhaul. The unit is a compact, desktop-form-factor device suited for environments where rack mounting is not practical or required.

The DMS-105 fits residential and light commercial network installations where bandwidth demands have outgrown standard gigabit switching. It is a plug-and-play unit, requiring no software configuration, making it appropriate for network technicians who need a fast deployment solution at a workstation cluster, media workgroup, or small server environment. Its desktop footprint keeps it accessible for bench or shelf placement in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a network technician or IT professional. Power down or disconnect any active network segments before inserting or removing cables to avoid link errors. No managed-switch configuration is required, but ensure the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources. Follow applicable TIA-568 cabling standards for structured wiring terminations.
