The DES-1005C and DES-1008C 10/100 Mbps Unmanaged Switches are economical, plug-and-play networking switch solutions for SOHO and small and medium businesses wanting to benefit from the increased bandwidth of Fast Ethernet. They provide five or eight 10/100 Mbps ports that enable you to easily expand your network and provide a quick way to upgrade your network to fast connectivity.

Fast Networking Made Easy

With data transfer speeds of up to 200 Mbps at full duplex, these switches are ideal for quick file transfers, online gaming and smooth streaming media. They feature easy-to-access Ethernet ports with LED indicators per port to easily distinguish link status. Auto MDI/MDIX crossover makes connection a cinch; just plug in your cables and you're ready to go.

Conserve Energy

The DES-1005C and DES-1008C implement 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, which saves energy and reduces heat automatically without sacrificing performance or functionality. The switches can detect when a connected computer is shut down or when there is no Ethernet traffic, and will put the port in standby mode, saving a substantial amount of power. In addition, the switch optimizes power usage for each port for the length of cable connected to it, using only as much power as is required. Both of these features work together to help you save power automatically.

Reliable Plug and Play Installation

The DES-1005C and DES-1008C are Plug-and-Play devices that require no configuration, so setup is simple and hassle-free, and you can easily connect multiple computers, share files, music, and video across your home or small office network, or even create a multiplayer gaming environment. 802.3x flow control on each port minimizes dropped packets when the port's receiving buffer is full, giving you a more reliable connection for all of your connected devices.
