Netgear GS305EPP-100NAS 5-port Gigabit Poe+ Switch

Product Description

The NETGEAR GS305EPP-100NAS is a 5-port gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch with high-power PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) support. It delivers network connectivity and power over a single Ethernet cable to connected devices, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at each endpoint. Designed for small commercial and residential installations, this switch suits network technicians and low-voltage integrators working with IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and similar powered devices. All five ports support gigabit speeds, and the PoE+ capability follows the 802.3at standard for higher per-port power delivery compared to standard 802.3af PoE.

This switch is suited for installations where multiple PoE-dependent devices need to be powered and connected from a single location. Typical applications include security camera systems, small office or retail network buildouts, and structured cabling installations where a compact, wall- or rack-adjacent switch is needed. It is sold as a single unit and fits into low-voltage and data cabling scopes of work handled by network installers and AV or security integrators.

Key Features

• 5 gigabit Ethernet ports, each capable of passing data at up to 1000 Mbps
• PoE+ (802.3at) support for powering IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and similar devices
• High-power PoE budget allows delivery of elevated wattage across connected ports
• Single-unit form factor suitable for compact or space-constrained installations
• No separate power adapter required at PoE-powered endpoints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install unit compatible with standard 802.3at and 802.3af PoE-capable network devices requiring gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians, network installers, or security and AV integrators. Power down or disconnect the switch before making or changing cable terminations. Ensure the total PoE load across all connected devices does not exceed the switch power budget. Installations in commercial environments may be subject to local low-voltage wiring codes and structured cabling standards such as TIA-568.
