Netgear GS305EP-100NAS 5-port Gigabit Poe+ Managed Switch

Product Description

The NETGEAR GS305EP-100NAS is a 5-port gigabit Ethernet managed switch with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability. It provides network switching and power delivery over a single Ethernet cable to connected devices. Designed for small network installations, this switch supports managed configuration, giving technicians control over traffic prioritization, VLANs, and port settings. The PoE+ standard supports higher power budgets than standard PoE, making it suitable for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. Network installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades that specify and install this unit.

This switch is suited for commercial and light commercial network environments where managed switching and PoE+ power delivery are required in a compact, desktop or rack-adjacent form factor. It is appropriate for new installations and retrofit deployments where a low port-count managed switch is needed at the edge of a network. Typical applications include small office networks, security camera systems, and wireless infrastructure deployments.

Key Features

• 5 gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support for simultaneous data and power delivery
• Managed switch configuration for VLAN, QoS, and port-level traffic control
• PoE+ standard allows higher per-port power delivery compared to standard PoE
• Compact form factor suitable for desktop or wall-adjacent placement
• Single-unit packaging (sold individually)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style managed PoE+ switch for integration into standard IEEE 802.3at-compatible Ethernet network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage network technician or qualified IT infrastructure professional. Power down or disconnect any connected PoE devices before making or changing port connections to prevent unintended power delivery. Follow applicable local codes and TIA/EIA structured cabling standards when routing and terminating Ethernet cable runs. Verify total PoE power budget requirements of all connected devices before commissioning to avoid overloading the switch.
