D-Link 5-Port Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch 2.5G Ethernet (100/1000/2500) Desktop Black

The 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Desktop Switch with five 2.5 Gigabit ports provide a quick and easy way to upgrade your network to eliminate bottlenecks to maximise performance and throughput.

Multi-Gigabit Networking
The five 2.5 Gigabit ports provide high-speed, reliable wired connections to network-attached storage (NAS) devices, Wi-Fi 6 router/access points, gaming computers, and workstations. Ideal for demanding business or home network setups, it allows users to access network resources and transfer large multimedia files at lightning speeds.

Multicast Support
IGMP Snooping can reduce unnecessary multicast traffic, improve network performance, and prevent bandwidth congestion. This ultimately results in a better viewing experience for IPTV users and a more efficient use of network resources.

Green Technology
The 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Desktop Switch features green technology, such as IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and link status detection. Energy-Efficient Ethernet reduces power consumption of the switch when network utilisation is low, reducing the cost of ownership during periods of inactivity. Link status detection automatically powers down ports when there is no link detected, saving power when the connected device has been shut down or disconnected.

Traffic Management
The 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Desktop Switch includes traffic management features, such as IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control. The 802.1p QoS feature allows traffic to be classified in 8 priority levels, allowing different types of traffic to be prioritised, depending on their importance.
