InLine Gigabit network switch 5-port, 1Gb/s, desktop, metal housing, fanless

The InLine Gigabit network switch is a compact 5‑port desktop switch in a metal, fanless housing that supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Auto‑Negotiation on each RJ45 port. It implements IEEE 802.3i/802.3u/802.3ab standards and provides store‑and‑forward forwarding with a MAC address table capacity of 4K entries and a backbone bandwidth of 1 Gbps. The underside has pre‑punched holes for wall mounting, and the device operates silently without a fan.

Advantages

The switch delivers Gigabit speeds on all five ports with Auto‑MDI/MDIX to simplify cabling, automatic MAC learning and updating for plug‑and‑play operation, and flow control support (IEEE802.3x for full duplex and backpressure for half duplex). Its metal housing offers compact desktop durability while remaining fanless for silent operation. LED indicators show power, link/activity and 1000 Mbps status.

Suitable for

• Small office or home networks requiring additional Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Desktop or wall‑mounted installations where a compact, silent switch is needed
• Connecting computers, NAS devices, printers and IP cameras at up to 1 Gb/s

How to use

Place the switch on a flat surface or mount it on the wall using the pre‑punched holes on the underside. Connect each device to an RJ45 port using appropriate UTP/STP cabling (observe the 100 m maximum length). Plug in the supplied 5 V, 1 A power adapter and verify the Power LED is lit. Connect network devices and check the Link/Act and 1000M LEDs to confirm link speed and activity. The switch performs MAC address learning and forwarding automatically; no configuration is required for basic operation.

Recommendations

To ensure stable Gigabit connections, use UTP Cat5e or higher for 1000Base‑T links and keep cable runs under 100 m. Place the switch in a well‑ventilated area to avoid heat buildup despite its metal housing; avoid exposure to temperatures outside the specified operating range.
