Netgear GS305P-300NAS 5 Port Poe Gigabit Switch

Product Description

The NETGEAR GS305P-300NAS is a 5-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small network installations where both data and power delivery to connected devices are required over a single cable. This unmanaged switch provides gigabit-speed connectivity across all five ports, making it suitable for powering and connecting IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and similar PoE-compatible devices. Network technicians and low-voltage installers commonly deploy this unit in commercial and residential applications where a compact, plug-and-play switching solution is needed without the overhead of managed switch configuration.

The GS305P-300NAS fits naturally into small office, home office, and light commercial environments. It is well-suited for installations where a handful of PoE end devices need to be consolidated onto a single switch without requiring an upstream managed infrastructure. Typical scenarios include IP surveillance setups, small wireless networks, and VoIP deployments where the installer needs a reliable, low-footprint switch that delivers both data and power to edge devices.

Key Features

• 5 gigabit Ethernet ports supporting full PoE power delivery to connected devices
• Single-cable data and power delivery eliminates the need for separate power adapters at each endpoint
• Unmanaged plug-and-play design requires no software configuration or setup utility
• Compact form factor suited for wall, shelf, or rack-adjacent installations
• Supports gigabit speeds on all ports for high-bandwidth device connectivity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct deployment switch compatible with standard IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE-capable network devices including IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones in small network environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage technician or network installer familiar with structured cabling and PoE device requirements. Verify that the total PoE power budget of the switch is not exceeded by the combined draw of all connected devices before completing the installation. Power down or disconnect end devices before terminating or re-terminating Ethernet runs. Follow applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and TIA-568 cabling standards for all structured cabling work.
