D-Link DGS-105 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Network Switch

SKU CH-A05N-A5PZE MPN DGS-105

A five-port Gigabit desktop switch with fanless metal housing, plug-and-play setup, QoS and IGMP snooping for traffic prioritisation, and a 9000-byte jumbo frame limit

  • FormatDesktop/Wall Mount
  • StandardsIEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet (twisted-pair copper) IEEE 802.
  • Network Management TypeUnmanaged
  • Uplink PortsNone
  • Primary Ports5 x RJ45
  • Primary Port Speed10/100/1000Mbps

Class 5-Port Gigabit

  • Five Gigabit ports for fast file transfers and smooth streaming
  • Sturdy metal housing dissipates heat and protects internal components
  • Fanless design ensures silent operation in noise-sensitive environments
  • QoS prioritises time-sensitive traffic like VoIP and surveillance footage
  • IGMP snooping optimises multicast streams to save bandwidth

Five Gigabit ports for small-office expansion

The DGS-105 is an unmanaged Layer 2 desktop switch with five RJ45 ports running at 10/100/1000 Mbps. It targets SOHO and small-business users who need a simple way to add Gigabit connectivity for file transfers, media streaming or surveillance cameras without configuring software.

Check cabling and power before installing

Each port requires UTP Cat 5/5e or 100-ohm STP cable up to 100 metres for Gigabit speeds; Cat 3 or 4 is only valid for 10 Mbps links. The unit ships with an external 5 V/1 A Level 'V' adapter, so verify a nearby mains socket is available and that the metal chassis can rest on a desk or be screwed to a wall.

Silent fanless operation under continuous load

A fanless metal enclosure dissipates heat passively, keeping the switch quiet during sustained traffic. Store-and-forward switching with a 2K MAC table and 9000-byte jumbo-frame support maintains consistent throughput, while QoS and IGMP snooping prioritise time-sensitive streams such as VoIP or multicast video when the network is busy.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the DGS-105 and do I need to buy any cables separately?

The switch includes an external 5 V/1 A power adapter. You will need to supply your own Ethernet cables such as Cat 5e or better for each device you connect.

The spec sheet lists several IEEE standards — which one should I care about for a home gigabit network?

IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T is the Gigabit Ethernet standard; all five RJ45 ports support it along with 10/100 Mbps fallback for older gear.

The headline says “5 Gigabit ports” — what actual throughput will I see when the switch is under load?

Each port runs at 1000 Mbps full-duplex with store-and-forward switching and a 2K MAC table, so sustained wire-speed traffic is handled across all five ports simultaneously.
