Its compact, fanless metal chassis allows for silent operation in noise-sensitive areas like conference rooms or open-plan offices. As a plug-and-play device, it requires no software configuration, making it ideal for edge deployments where rapid installation is critical. The switch automatically negotiates speeds (100M/1G/2.5G) per port, ensuring backward compatibility with legacy hardware while maximizing throughput for newer devices. This unit addresses the increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications such as 4K video streaming and large file transfers without the complexity of managed networking.Key Features
- Five 2.5GBASE-T ports for high-speed multi-gig connectivity.
- Fanless metal housing ensures silent, reliable operation.
- Plug-and-play setup requires no software or configuration.
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power usage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the MS105-100NAS is a non-PoE switch. It is designed strictly for high-speed data transmission to devices with their own power sources.
Can I use standard Cat5e cables to achieve 2.5G speeds?
Yes, 2.5GBASE-T is specifically designed to operate over existing Cat5e or better cabling at distances up to 100 meters, avoiding the need for a full cable overhaul.
Is any manual configuration required for the multi-gig ports?
No, the switch features auto-negotiation technology, which automatically detects and sets the optimal speed (100M, 1G, or 2.5G) based on the connected device's capability.
