Switch 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet LogiLink NS202 1 Gbps

The LogiLink Switch 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet NS202 delivers wired network connectivity at up to 1 Gbps per port in a compact, fanless enclosure. Designed for small office and home networks, this unmanaged switch expands wired LAN capability by providing five Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting computers, printers, NAS devices, smart home hubs and other Ethernet-enabled equipment. Its plug-and-play operation and energy-efficient design make it suitable for installations where simple, reliable wired throughput is required.

Advantages

The switch provides full Gigabit speed on all five ports to support faster file transfers, smoother media streaming and lower latency for online tasks. Its unmanaged nature means no configuration is required: connect devices with standard Ethernet cables and the switch handles traffic automatically. The compact, silent design enables flexible placement in cramped spaces or on desktop surfaces without additional cooling requirements. Energy-saving features reduce power consumption when ports are idle.

Suitable for

• Home networks connecting PCs, smart TVs, gaming consoles and NAS
• Small office setups requiring additional wired ports for workstations and printers
• Media streaming and local file sharing between devices
• Temporary network extension for events, workshops or home lab environments

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 5 × Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation)
• Switching capacity: Gigabit line speed on all ports
• Operation: Unmanaged, plug-and-play
• Duplex: Full and half duplex support with auto MDI/MDIX
• Form factor: Compact, fanless housing suitable for desktop placement
• Power: External power adapter (AC powered)

How to use

Place the switch on a flat surface near your router or modem and connect its power adapter to a mains outlet. Use standard Ethernet cables to connect the router or upstream network device to one of the switch ports, then plug client devices into the remaining ports. The device requires no software installation or configuration; LEDs indicate link and activity status for each port. For best performance, use Cat5e or higher-rated Ethernet cables and ensure connected devices have matching Gigabit-capable network interfaces.

Recommendations

Position the switch in a well-ventilated area and avoid covering it to maintain passive cooling. For reliable Gigabit performance, use shielded or properly terminated Cat5e/Cat6 cables and minimize cable lengths where practical. When integrating into a network with VLANs or advanced routing, place the switch on the access side (edge) rather than attempting to use it for traffic segmentation, since it is an unmanaged device without VLAN support.
