D-Link DGS-105 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch with QoS
The D-Link DGS-105 is a compact 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to deliver fast, reliable networking for home offices, small businesses, and workgroups. With plug-and-play simplicity, a durable metal housing, and silent fanless operation, the DGS-105 provides 10 Gbps switching capacity and advanced features including IEEE 802.1p QoS, IGMP snooping, and IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet to optimize performance while reducing power consumption.
Key Features
-
5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with full/half-duplex support for up to 2 Gbps per port (1 Gbps up + 1 Gbps down)
-
10 Gbps Non-Blocking Switching Fabric: Store-and-forward architecture ensures maximum throughput and minimal packet loss
-
IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritizes time-sensitive traffic such as VoIP, video streaming, and online gaming for smooth, uninterrupted performance
-
IGMP Snooping: Efficiently manages multicast streams for IPTV and 4K/8K video without flooding the network
-
Energy-Efficient Design: IEEE 802.3az EEE powers down idle ports and adjusts power based on cable length, reducing consumption by up to 80%
-
Durable Metal Housing: Dissipates heat naturally and withstands demanding environments, backed by a D-Link Limited Lifetime Warranty after registration
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
No configuration required. The DGS-105 features auto MDI/MDI-X crossover detection on all ports, eliminating the need for special cables. Simply connect your devices and you're ready to go. Per-port dual-color LED indicators display link status, activity, and speed at a glance for easy troubleshooting.
Silent, Fanless Operation
Perfect for noise-sensitive environments such as bedrooms, studios, home offices, and conference rooms, the DGS-105 operates completely silently thanks to its fanless design. The all-metal chassis dissipates heat passively, ensuring reliable performance without distraction.
Versatile Mounting Options
The compact design includes rubber feet for desktop placement and keyhole slots for wall mounting, allowing you to position the switch exactly where you need it. The included 5V/1A power adapter keeps installation clean and straightforward.
Advanced Traffic Management
The DGS-105 supports Jumbo Frames up to 9 KB, boosting throughput for large file transfers, backups, and multimedia streaming between NAS devices and PCs. IEEE 802.3x Flow Control minimizes dropped packets during heavy traffic, ensuring a stable and reliable connection for all connected devices.
Green Technology
D-Link's Green Technology saves energy without compromising performance. The switch automatically detects when a connected device is powered off or when there is no Ethernet traffic, and powers down idle ports. It also detects cable length and adjusts power usage accordingly, using only as much power as necessary for cables under 20 meters versus the full power needed for 100-meter runs.
Ideal Applications
- Expanding home and office networks with Gigabit Ethernet
- Connecting PCs, laptops, printers, NAS devices, gaming consoles, and smart home hubs
- Sharing high-speed internet connections among multiple devices
- Supporting 4K/8K video streaming, online gaming, and VoIP telephony
- Creating reliable wired connections for security cameras and mesh network nodes
