Tp-link ls1005g 5-port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

Product Description

The TP-LINK ls1005g is a 5-port gigabit unmanaged network switch designed for small office, workbench, or low-density network expansion applications. It delivers five 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX support, eliminating the need for crossover cables. A switching capacity of 10 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 7.44 Mpps handle typical workgroup traffic without bottlenecks. The fanless plastic housing keeps operation silent, and plug-and-play setup requires no configuration software or managed interface. Power draw tops out at 3.7 watts via an external 5V DC adapter, making it a low-overhead addition to any structured cabling or bench test environment.

The ls1005g suits residential and light commercial installs where a small number of wired drops need to be extended from a router or larger switch. Typical applications include home office setups, AV equipment closets, small retail point-of-sale runs, and technician bench environments. Its compact desktop footprint and wall-mount capability give installers flexible placement options in tight spaces. Green Ethernet technology automatically adjusts power based on cable length and link status, reducing energy use during low-traffic periods.

Key Features

• 5 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX
• 10 Gbps switching capacity and 7.44 Mpps packet forwarding rate
• Fanless design for silent operation in noise-sensitive environments
• Plug-and-play — no configuration, no management interface required
• Green Ethernet technology reduces power draw based on cable length and link activity
• IEEE 802.3X flow control for reliable data transfer under load

Compatibility

Designed as a plug-and-play gigabit switch compatible with any IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u, 802.3ab, or 802.3x compliant network device using standard RJ45 connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a network technician or qualified low-voltage installer. Power down or disconnect the upstream network device before adding or reconfiguring switch connections. The unit requires an external 5V DC power supply — verify the correct adapter is used before energizing. Low-voltage cabling work should comply with applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local building codes.
