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

D-Link DES-1005C/B

The D-Link DES-1005C/B Switch provides a high-performance solution for expanding small office or home network infrastructures. This unmanaged hardware operates at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It facilitates rapid data transfers between up to five connected nodes. Each port supports 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet speeds with full-duplex capabilities. The internal architecture utilizes a store-and-forward switching scheme. This method verifies frame integrity via cyclic redundancy checks before transmission. Consequently, the device ensures consistent data delivery for connected workstations and IP peripherals.

Key Features

• Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover
  This hardware automatically detects cable types to eliminate the requirement for specialized crossover cables during installation.

• IEEE 802.3x Flow Control

  • Minimizes dropped packets during periods of high buffer utilization.
  • Ensures reliable data transmission across all active ports.

• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
  The system complies with IEEE 802.3az standards to reduce power consumption during low-traffic periods or port inactivity.
