Simple, Reliable 5-Port Gigabit Switching for Growing Networks
When your small office, retail shop, or hotel needs more wired connections without complexity, the SG500-Qos 5 port gigabit ethernet unmanaged switch delivers exactly that. It’s a straightforward, plug-and-play workhorse that gives you five 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports in a compact metal case. No configuration, no software, no downtime—just connect your devices and they’re online.
Unlike basic desktop switches, this model includes a physical DIP switch on the front panel that lets you toggle between three practical operating modes. Set it to VLAN and ports 1–4 are isolated from each other but can all talk to port 5—perfect for connecting separate departments to a shared server or uplink. Switch to QoS and traffic from ports 1 and 2 gets priority handling, so your voice calls or critical point-of-sale data never compete with bulk file transfers. The Extend mode forces ports 1–4 to 10Mbps, which stretches the reach up to 250 meters for IP cameras or access points in long corridors. All modes work without touching a CLI or web interface, keeping setup dead simple for IT generalists and system integrators.
Built with a sturdy metal housing and natural cooling, the switch handles temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, so it fits comfortably in a wiring closet, under a desk, or mounted on a wall. Each port auto-negotiates speed and MDI/MDI-X, eliminating cable headaches. With 10Gbps switching capacity and a 2K MAC table, it handles simultaneous voice, video, and data streams without packet loss. The 10K jumbo frame support further improves throughput for NAS backups and large file transfers. Power consumption stays below 3W, making it a cost-effective addition to any always-on network.
Whether you’re expanding an existing LAN in a small business, connecting IP cameras in a boutique hotel, or simply adding reliable gigabit ports to a home office, this 5 port gigabit ethernet unmanaged switch offers the right mix of simplicity, flexibility, and durability.
