Compact 5 port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch. With data transmission at 1000 Mbs per second; the Gigabit standard provides simultaneous sending and receiving of data at a speed 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. Backwards compatible; the SW-015 can plug into older networks, and connect to devices that are 10Mbs, Fast Ethernet (100Mbs) or Gigabit, whilst detecting the highest common speed between both ends of the connection. As with all Ethernet Switches in the SW range - the SW-015 can be powered from +5VDC to +30VDC, and has a wide operating temperature range (-10C to +60C /-14F to +140F). Connection monitoring automatically powers down devices when not in use for optimum energy efficiency.
