D-Link DES-1005C/B 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Features in Kenya
5 Fast Ethernet Ports
The DES-1005C/B provides five 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports for connecting computers, printers, smart TVs, gaming consoles and other wired network devices. It provides an economical way to add Ethernet connections to an existing router or local network.
Up to 200 Mbps Full-Duplex Performance
Each Fast Ethernet port supports speeds of up to 100 Mbps in each direction simultaneously when operating in full-duplex mode, providing up to 200 Mbps aggregate bidirectional throughput per port.
1 Gbps Switching Capacity
With a switching capacity of 1 Gbps, the DES-1005C/B efficiently handles simultaneous traffic between its five Ethernet ports, providing stable performance for internet access, file sharing, printing and other everyday network activities.
Plug-and-Play Installation
As an unmanaged switch, the DES-1005C/B requires no software installation, configuration or specialist network knowledge. Simply connect the switch to your router or network and attach Ethernet devices to begin using the expanded network.
Auto-Negotiation on Every Port
Each Ethernet port automatically detects the connection capabilities of the attached device and selects the appropriate 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps speed and duplex mode for reliable communication.
Auto MDI/MDIX Support
Auto MDI/MDIX functionality on every port automatically identifies the required Ethernet connection type, eliminating the need to distinguish between straight-through and crossover network cables.
Store-and-Forward Switching
The switch uses store-and-forward transmission to check incoming Ethernet frames before forwarding them to their destination. This helps prevent corrupted packets from propagating through the network and improves overall data reliability.
Jumbo Frame Support
Support for Ethernet frames up to 2,048 bytes provides additional flexibility when transferring data between compatible network devices and helps improve efficiency for suitable network applications.
Energy Efficient Ethernet
IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet technology helps reduce unnecessary electricity consumption by adjusting power usage according to network activity, making the DES-1005C/B economical for continuous operation.
Ultra-Low Power Consumption
With approximately 0.4 W standby consumption and a maximum consumption of around 0.784 W, the switch provides an energy-conscious solution for basic home and small-office wired networking.
Compact Fanless Desktop Design
The lightweight plastic enclosure measures only 88 × 48 × 21.45 mm and uses passive cooling instead of a fan. This provides silent operation while allowing the switch to fit conveniently beside a router, workstation, television or other network equipment.
UK Power Adapter Included
The DES-1005C/B comes with a compatible UK-style power adapter, providing convenient deployment in Kenya and other locations using compatible Type G electrical outlets.
