DES-1005A Why Choose the DES-1005A?

Simple Setup
First of all, setup is quick and easy. Just plug it in — no software or configuration is needed.

Smart Ports
Next, each port automatically checks the speed of the connected device and adjusts for the best performance — either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

No Special Cables Needed
Moreover, you don’t need any special cables. It works with standard Ethernet cables and connects easily to routers, hubs, or other switches.

Clear LED Lights
In addition, built-in LED lights show power, connection status, and activity for each port, so you always know what’s happening.

Saves Energy
Finally, the switch uses less power when devices are idle, helping you save energy without doing anything extra.

DES-1005A 5-Port Ethernet Desktop Switch – Main Features

Plug-and-Play
To begin with, it works right out of the box. Just plug it in and you’re ready to go.

Fast Speeds
Furthermore, each port supports speeds of up to 200 Mbps in full duplex mode, allowing for quick data transfers.

5 Ports
As a result, you can connect multiple devices at the same time — perfect for busy home or small office networks.

Auto MDI/MDIX
Additionally, there’s no need to worry about cable types. Each port automatically adjusts, so you can use standard Ethernet cables.

Compact Size
Lastly, its small and lightweight design makes it easy to place anywhere — on a desk, shelf, or in a tight space.

Performance

To start, the DES-1005A offers a switching speed of 1 Gbps total, ensuring smooth and efficient data flow.
Moreover, in terms of device handling, it supports a MAC address table with up to 2,000 entries, allowing plenty of connected devices without slowing down the network.

When it comes to data transfer, packet forwarding speeds are:

• 14,880 packets per second (pps) for Ethernet

• 148,800 pps for Fast Ethernet

Additionally, it comes with a 48 KB buffer memory to help prevent data loss during high traffic.

It uses the store-and-forward method, which checks each packet before sending it on, improving reliability.

Ports and Cables

To begin with, this switch includes 5 × 10/100 Mbps ports, allowing you to connect multiple devices with ease.

When it comes to cabling, it supports the following standards:

• 10BASE-T: CAT 3/4/5/5e (up to 100 meters)

• 100BASE-TX: CAT 5/5e (up to 100 meters)

In other words, you can use common Ethernet cables that are already widely used in most networks.

LED Indicators

For quick status checks, the DES-1005A includes helpful indicator lights:

• A power light to show the device is on

• One LED per port to display connection and activity

Thanks to these indicators, it’s easy to monitor your network at a glance.

Power and Environment

The device is powered by an external 5V/0.55A adapter, which is compact and efficient.

In terms of power consumption:

• Standby: 0.1W (DC) / 0.69W (AC)

• At maximum use: 0.9W (DC) / 1.6W (AC)

As a result, the DES-1005A is energy-efficient and ideal for long-term use without increasing your power bill.

Overall, the DES-1005A is energy-efficient and quiet, making it ideal for continuous use in small spaces.
