Each port supports gigabit speeds, allowing devices to communicate at up to 1000 Mbps over standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. The unit is plug-and-play, requiring no driver installation or setup utility. It is suited for small offices, workrooms, server closets, or any environment where a technician needs to extend wired network connectivity quickly and reliably. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades who deploy this type of device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch is appropriate for residential and light commercial network installations where a small number of wired drops need to be aggregated or expanded from an existing router or patch panel. Typical use cases include connecting workstations, VoIP phones, IP cameras, access points, or other networked equipment to a local area network. Because it is unmanaged, there are no VLANs, QoS settings, or port mirroring options, making it best suited for flat network environments where simplicity is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 auto-sensing gigabit Ethernet ports for up to 1000 Mbps per port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnmanaged operation — plug-and-play with no configuration required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto-negotiation and Auto MDI\/MDIX on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suitable for desktop or shelf mounting in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard unmanaged gigabit Ethernet switch compatible with any IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T wired network infrastructure using RJ45 patch cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by low-voltage network technicians or qualified electricians familiar with structured cabling standards such as ANSI\/TIA-568. Connect the switch to an upstream router, switch, or patch panel using standard Cat5e or Cat6 patch cable. No power-down of adjacent network equipment is required before connecting, but confirm that power to the switch itself is disconnected before repositioning or securing it in a rack or enclosure. Do not install in locations subject to excessive heat, moisture, or direct exposure to HVAC airflow discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Count\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gigabit Ethernet (10\/100\/1000 Mbps) RJ45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unmanaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category\u003c\/strong\u003e: Switches and Routers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NETGEAR, INC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GS305-300PAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NETGEAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51687373406514,"sku":"GS305-300PAS","price":77.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/netgear-gs305-300pas-5-port-gigabit-unmanaged-switch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
