TP-Link 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Desktop Switch, Metal Casing | TL-SG105-M2
The TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 is an unmanaged 5-port desktop switch in which all five RJ45 ports run at up to 2.5 Gbps. It gives up to 25 Gbps of switching capacity for 2.5G NAS and servers, gaming computers and Wi-Fi 7/6 access points, and it works plug-and-play with no setup.

Five 2.5G Ports: Every port supports 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX, so each device connects at the highest speed it supports. Together the five ports give up to 25 Gbps of switching capacity.

No Need to Change Cables: 2.5G runs over CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a and better cables, so an existing Cat5e or better installation can be upgraded to 2.5 Gbps without rewiring.

Loop Prevention: The switch automatically detects network loops and blocks the affected port, and the port LED flashes slowly to alert you, which keeps the network stable.

Traffic Prioritization and Multicast: 802.1p/DSCP QoS prioritizes traffic and IGMP Snooping optimizes multicast delivery, while 802.3x flow control helps avoid packet loss.

Silent, Durable Metal Design: The fanless design runs silently, and the metal casing helps heat dissipation and durability. The switch can sit on a desk or be mounted on a wall.
Who it's for / Works with: Built for LAN parties, home entertainment, small and home offices and fast transfers for workstations. Connects 2.5G NAS/servers, 2.5G gaming computers, 2.5G Wi-Fi 7/6E/6 access points, network video recorders, printers and 4K video devices.
Good to know: This is an unmanaged switch: it has no web management page and no VLAN settings. A device only reaches 2.5 Gbps if its own network port supports 2.5G; Gigabit devices connect at 1 Gbps. 2.5G without rewiring needs Cat5e or better cable.
