NETGEAR GS105v5 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch
The GS105v5 is a standalone plug-and-play Ethernet switch. It has no dedicated higher-speed uplink port; any RJ-45 port can connect upstream. Match the v5 label; do not assume values for older GS105 hardware versions or GS105P PoE variants.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: GS105v5 (hardware version v5; regional power adapter can differ). Match the complete model and hardware revision on the label before applying specifications.
Exact specifications and compatibility
| Cataloged model / revision | GS105v5 — GS105v5 (hardware version v5; regional power adapter can differ) |
|---|---|
| Dedicated subcategory | Unmanaged switches |
| Ports and line rates | 5 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45; nominal negotiated link rate up to 1 Gb/s per port. |
| Switching capacity | 10 Gbps manufacturer switching fabric; this is aggregate switching capacity, not a measured application-throughput result. |
| PoE | No PoE input or output is specified for this model. |
| Uplink and media | No dedicated uplink or optical cage; all ports are copper RJ-45 and any port may connect upstream. Use standards-compatible twisted-pair Ethernet cable. |
| Power | External adapter, 12 V DC / 0.5 A; maximum power consumption 2.7 W per the GS105v5 data sheet. |
| Form factor | Fanless metal desktop enclosure; supports desktop or wall mounting. |
| Host compatibility | Connects standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet endpoints using suitable twisted-pair cable. No host driver or OS-specific software is required. Use the adapter matching the exact unit label. |
| Compatibility caveat | The GS105v5 is a standalone plug-and-play Ethernet switch. It has no dedicated higher-speed uplink port; any RJ-45 port can connect upstream. Match the v5 label; do not assume values for older GS105 hardware versions or GS105P PoE variants. Confirm regional SKU, revision, supported cable category and adapter rating; nominal link rates do not guarantee end-to-end throughput. |
| Management / drivers | Unmanaged Layer 2 switch; no switch configuration interface or host driver is required. Do not infer VLAN, routing, PoE, or managed-switch features. |
Model-specific notes
The GS105v5 is a standalone plug-and-play Ethernet switch. It has no dedicated higher-speed uplink port; any RJ-45 port can connect upstream. Match the v5 label; do not assume values for older GS105 hardware versions or GS105P PoE variants. Switching capacity is the manufacturer’s aggregate fabric figure; it is not a benchmark. The switch does not provide Internet access by itself and requires an upstream network/router for external connectivity.
