D-Link DES-1005C 5-Port 10/100Mbps Unmanaged Desktop Switch

D-Link DES-1005C 5-Port 10/100M Unmanaged Desktop Switch

The D-Link DES-1005C is a compact 5-port Fast Ethernet switch that adds wired ports to any home or small office network, and the D-Link DES-1005C price in BD makes it one of the cheapest reliable ways to connect more devices to a router. It has five 10/100 Mbps ports, a 1 Gbps switching fabric, D-Link Green energy saving and a silent fanless design.

Key Features

• 5 x 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports
• 1 Gbps switching capacity, store-and-forward
• 2K MAC address table
• IEEE 802.3x flow control
• D-Link Green energy saving, 0.97 W maximum power
• Fanless, compact 85 x 52 x 22 mm design

Plug and play

The DES-1005C needs no setup. Connect one port to your router with a network cable, then plug in PCs, printers, IP phones, set-top boxes or DVRs into the other ports. Each port detects the device automatically.

Energy saving and silent

D-Link Green technology lowers power use when ports are idle, and the switch draws less than 1 W at most. With no fan, it runs completely silently on a desk or behind a TV.

Where it fits

Fast Ethernet ports suit internet plans up to 100 Mbps, office printers, CCTV DVRs, POS terminals and IP phones. If you need full gigabit speed for file transfers between PCs or a fibre plan above 100 Mbps, choose a gigabit switch such as the Tenda SG105 or TP-Link TL-SG1005D.

Specifications at a glance

The switch supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 802.3u 100BASE-TX and 802.3x flow control, forwards up to 148,800 packets per second per Fast Ethernet port, and runs on a 5V 0.55A adapter. Each port has a link/activity/speed LED, and the unit weighs just 55.6 g.

Installation tips

Place the switch where air can move around it and use Cat5e or better cables. Keep cable runs under 100 m for reliable connections.

Network cabling tips

Use Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables, keep each run under 100 metres, and label both ends of every cable so you can trace devices later. Place the switch where it gets airflow, and connect it to a UPS so the network stays up during short power cuts.

Who should buy it

Choose the D-Link DES-1005C for a home, shop or small office that needs a few extra wired ports for everyday devices at the lowest cost.
