Network switch EDIMAX GS-1105PE 5-port PoE unmanaged switch

EDIMAX GS-1105PE is a compact 5-port PoE unmanaged network switch that provides simple Ethernet expansion and Power over Ethernet delivery for compatible devices. The switch includes five RJ-45 ports with PoE capability, enabling a single-cable solution for devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones. As an unmanaged device, it requires no configuration for basic connectivity and is designed for plug-and-play installation in small office, retail or home environments that need straightforward PoE support.

Advantages

The GS-1105PE combines easy installation with integrated PoE on multiple ports, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for connected devices and reducing cable clutter. Its unmanaged design provides instant network extension without setup complexity, while the metal housing and compact form factor allow flexible placement in crowded equipment racks or on desktop surfaces. Energy-efficient operation and automatic detection of PoE-capable devices ensure reliable power delivery only when needed.

Suitable for

• Small office networks requiring PoE for IP phones or access points
• Retail stores deploying surveillance cameras with simplified cabling
• Home networks adding a few PoE devices such as cameras or APs
• Temporary installations and events where quick plug-and-play connectivity is needed

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 5 x RJ-45 Ethernet ports with PoE support
• PoE standard: Supplies power over Ethernet to compatible devices (auto-detection)
• Operation mode: Unmanaged, plug-and-play
• Form factor: Compact, desktop or rackable-friendly metal housing
• Performance: Gigabit-capable ports for standard Ethernet throughput
• Power delivery: Integrated power supply to provide PoE to multiple ports simultaneously

How to use

Place the switch on a stable surface or mount it according to the included instructions. Connect the switch to your network backbone or router using a standard Ethernet cable on one of the RJ-45 ports. Plug PoE-capable devices into the remaining ports using Ethernet cables; the switch will automatically detect and supply power to compatible devices. No configuration is required for basic operation — devices should obtain network connectivity and power immediately after physical connection.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure total connected PoE power consumption does not exceed the switch's power budget and use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better). Keep ventilation clear around the device and place it away from heat sources. For deployments with many high-power devices, verify power requirements and consider a higher-capacity PoE switch if necessary.
