This switch is compact and economical and can easily be monitored.

  • Compatibility
    • The NetGear ProSafe 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch enables you to connect 10-, 100-, and 1000-megabit-per-second devices to your computer network. It is compatible with Windows and Macintosh, and thanks to its plug-and-play technology, it starts working as soon as you connect it to your network.
  • Speed and Performance
    • This switch transmits data between your devices and your server at lightning-fast speeds that can reach ten times the speed of Fast Ethernet+ devices. You can easily monitor the speed at which your switch is operating, as well as the status of your links and other activity, with the device's dual-color LEDs.
  • Advanced Features
    • The Auto Uplink feature of the NetGear ProSafe 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch adjusts settings automatically for two different types of commonly available network cables. The switch features fully automatic switching, so it operates seamlessly in the background while you and your staff enjoy access to all of your network devices.
  • Compact and Convenient
    • This switch features a compact metal case that you can easily place on any desk or mount on your wall. It includes one port to connect to your network and four ports for connecting equipment. You may find a larger eight-port switch, such as the Netgear ProSafe 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch, useful if you have a larger network with more devices to connect.

      This unit does what it should reliably, easily and sits in place quietly doing it's job. It would be great if they had this unit with 8 ports at the same price but this works fine as it.
      Note to those wanting to use 1000 MB (1 Gig) there is another version of this unit that does that but be aware that the cable quality and length are factors in getting it to run reliably if at all.

                      The two Netgear ProSafe 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switches (models GS605NA and GS105NA) you asked about are basically the same. The 105 is an older model. Both are from the ProSafe model line.
