8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

This unmanaged switch adds eight 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports to a home or small-office network. It targets users who want a simple wired upgrade for gaming consoles, streaming boxes, and computers without configuring software.

16Gbps backplane and 328-foot reach

The 16Gbps non-blocking fabric handles full line-rate traffic across all eight ports simultaneously. Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX work with Cat5e or better cable up to 100 metres, so devices at the far end of a room stay at gigabit speed.

Fanless silent operation

No moving parts mean the unit runs completely silent, making it suitable for living-room media cabinets or bedside desks where noise would be noticed. The compact 5.3-inch width also fits tight wall-mount locations.

Questions about this item

Will this 8-port Gigabit switch link at 1000 Mbps with my older Cat5e patch cables?

Yes, the switch supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and IEEE 802.3ab, so Cat5e cables up to 328 feet will negotiate Gigabit links automatically.

Which LEDs should be lit to confirm the switch is operating correctly after I connect devices?

The front panel shows power status plus a link/activity LED for each of the eight RJ45 ports; a solid or blinking port LED means that port has an active 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps connection.

Does the 141713 come with a power adapter and mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?

The switch includes an external power adapter; the compact 5.3-inch chassis has keyhole slots for wall mounting, but screws and anchors are not supplied.
