HS105 - Cudy 5-Port 2.5G Metal Switch
Description
Description
The Cudy HS105 is a high-performance 5-port 2.5G Ethernet switch designed to deliver blazing-fast network speeds for modern home and business environments. With five 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the HS105 provides up to 2.5x faster connectivity than standard Gigabit switches, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as NAS systems, 4K/8K streaming, gaming, and Wi-Fi 7 access points.
Built with a durable metal chassis and fanless design, the HS105 ensures silent operation whilst efficiently dissipating heat for reliable 24/7 performance. The switch features a 25 Gbps switching capacity with an 18.6 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring smooth, lag-free data transmission across all connected devices. Its 4 Mbit packet buffer and support for jumbo frames up to 15 KB minimise packet loss and enhance overall network efficiency.
The Cudy HS105 supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), automatically reducing power consumption when ports are idle—helping lower electricity costs whilst maintaining exceptional performance. With IGMP snooping, the switch intelligently identifies multicast groups and optimises traffic, whilst loop detection automatically blocks ports when network loops are detected, preventing downtime caused by misconfigurations.
This plug-and-play switch requires no configuration—simply connect your devices and enjoy instant high-speed networking. The compact design (119 × 85 × 28 mm) allows for flexible placement, with options for both desktop and wall-mount installation. All five ports feature auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, automatically detecting optimal connection speeds (100/1000/2500 Mbps) for seamless compatibility with existing Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A cabling.
