Description

The Netgear 5 Port PoE Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (55.5W) is a networking device designed to provide both power and network connectivity to PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled devices. Here are the key features and specifications of this switch:

1. Port Configuration: The switch offers a total of 5 Ethernet ports, all of which support Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. All 5 ports are PoE enabled, meaning they can provide power to PoE devices.

2. PoE Support: The switch supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af) standard, which allows it to deliver up to 15.4W of power per port. This enables you to power PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other compatible devices directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

3. Power Budget: The switch has a maximum power budget of 55.5W. This means that the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices should not exceed this limit. Each device connected to a PoE port will draw power from the switch according to its power requirements.

4. Unmanaged Switch: The Netgear 5 Port PoE Gigabit Switch is an unmanaged switch, which means it operates in a plug-and-play mode. It does not require any configuration or management, making it simple to set up and use.

5. Gigabit Ethernet: The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet, allowing for high-speed data transfer between connected devices with a maximum data rate of 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps).

6. Fanless Design: The switch features a fanless design, which ensures silent operation and reduces the chances of mechanical failure.

7. Energy-Efficient Design: The switch is designed to be energy-efficient, with features like auto power-down when ports are not in use and the ability to adjust power consumption based on cable length. These features help save power and reduce energy costs.
