The Cudy GS105 5-Port Gigabit Metal Switch is a reliable networking device designed to provide high-speed connectivity for your home or office network. With its sleek and sturdy metal case, this switch offers durability and long-lasting performance. It is equipped with five 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation ports, allowing for seamless switching between different network speeds. The switch adheres to various industry standards, including IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE802.3x, and IEEE 802.3ab. These standards ensure compatibility with a wide range of networking devices and guarantee reliable and efficient data transmission. One of the key features of the GS105 switch is its auto-negotiation capability. Each port can automatically detect the speed (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps) and duplex mode (full or half) of the connected device. This smart switching functionality eliminates the need for manual configuration and ensures optimal performance for each device on the network. The switch utilizes a non-blocking switching architecture, which enables full wire-speed packet forwarding and filtering. This means that data packets can be processed and transmitted at their maximum speed without any bottlenecks or delays. Whether you are transferring large files, streaming high-definition videos, or engaging in online gaming, the GS105 switch delivers smooth and uninterrupted network performance. Using the store-and-forward switching method, the switch verifies the integrity of each data packet before forwarding it to its destination. This ensures that only error-free packets are transmitted, reducing the likelihood of network congestion or data loss. The switch also supports a large MAC address table with auto-learning and auto-aging capabilities, allowing it to efficiently manage up to 16K MAC addresses. This ensures seamless communication between devices connected to the switch. Installation and setup of the GS105 switch are effortless, thanks to its plug-and-play design. Simply connect your devices to the switch using standard RJ45 Ethernet cables, and the switch will automatically configure the appropriate settings for each port. The switch is also equipped with power-saving features that help conserve energy by dynamically adjusting power consumption based on network traffic and cable length.
