Description
Product Overview
The DES-105 is a 5-port Ethernet switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses. It allows users to easily expand their network by adding additional devices such as computers, printers, and servers. The switch supports speeds of up to 100 Mbps and is compatible with both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices. It is easy to install and requires no configuration, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for expanding network connectivity.
Fast Ethernet Network
Fast Ethernet is a term used to describe network technologies that support data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps. This is a significant improvement over the original Ethernet standard, which only supported speeds of up to 10 Mbps. Fast Ethernet is commonly used in small and medium-sized networks because it offers a good balance between speed and cost.
10/100Base-TX Technology
The DES-105 switch supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX technologies, which means that it can connect to devices with either of these interfaces. 10Base-T is an older technology that supports speeds of up to 10 Mbps and uses unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. 100Base-TX, on the other hand, supports speeds of up to 100 Mbps and also uses UTP cables. By supporting both of these technologies, the DES-105 switch can accommodate a wide range of devices.
5-Port Design
The DES-105 switch features 5 ports, which allows users to connect up to 5 devices to their network. Each port can support either a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX device, which means that users can connect a variety of different devices to the switch. The switch also supports auto-negotiation, which means that it can automatically detect the speed and duplex settings of the devices that are connected to it.
Desktop Design
The DES-105 switch has a desktop design, which means that it is small enough to be placed on a desk or table. This makes it a convenient solution for small and medium-sized businesses that do not have a dedicated server room or network closet. The switch also features a compact and lightweight design, which makes it easy to move and transport.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The DES-105 switch is a plug-and-play device, which means that it requires no configuration. Users simply need to connect their devices to the switch using Ethernet cables, and the switch will automatically detect and configure the connections. This makes it easy for non-technical users to set up and expand their network.
Energy-Efficient Design
The DES-105 switch features an energy-efficient design, which means that it consumes less power than other switches on the market. It uses a technology called D-Link Green, which automatically detects the length of the Ethernet cables that are connected to it and adjusts the power consumption accordingly. This can help businesses save money on their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint.
In Summary, the DES-105 D-Link 5-Port 10/100Base-TX Desktop Switch is a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution for expanding network connectivity. Its fast Ethernet speeds, support for 10/100Base-TX technologies, 5-port design, desktop form factor, plug-and-play installation, and energy-efficient design make it a versatile and practical choice for small and medium-sized businesses. Whether you need to connect computers, printers, servers, or other devices to your network, the DES-105 switch can help you do so quickly and easily.
