The ASW205T is a 5-port 2.5GBASE-T unmanaged Ethernet switch designed for high-speed network connectivity. It facilitates the connection of multiple devices, such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems and personal computers, to a local area network at speeds up to 2.5 Gigabit per second. Being an unmanaged switch, it offers plug-and-play simplicity without requiring complex configuration, making it suitable for home and small office environments.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Device Type: 2.5-Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch
• Supported Speeds: 10M/100M/1G/2.5G, allowing for versatile compatibility with various network devices and existing infrastructure.
• Input Voltage Range: DC: 12V 2A, indicating its power requirements.
• Dimensions: 92 (L) x 140 (W) x 28 (H) mm, suggesting a compact form factor suitable for various placements.
• Chipset: RTL8371+RTL8221B, specifying the core components responsible for its networking capabilities.
• Operating Temperature: 0°C-40°C (32-104°F), defining the safe temperature range for operation.
• Operating Humidity: < 85% No condensation, outlining the acceptable humidity conditions.
• Non-Operating Temperature: -10°C-85°C (14-176°F), indicating the temperature range the device can withstand when not in use.

Usage Features:

• Plug-and-Play Operation: As an unmanaged switch, the ASW205T requires no software installation or complex setup. Users can simply connect their devices and power it on to establish network connectivity.
• Multi-Speed Support: The switch automatically detects and adapts to the speed of connected devices, supporting 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gigabit, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet standards. This ensures compatibility with both older and newer network hardware.
• LED Indicators: The device features several LED indicators to provide real-time status updates:
  • Power LED (Green): Indicates the device is powered on.
  • Left LED (Green): Lit when connected at 2.5-Gigabit speeds.
  • Left LED (Orange): Lit when connected at Gigabit speeds.
  • Left LED (Off): Indicates connection at 10M or 100M speeds.
  • Right LED (Yellow, Blinking): Signifies data transfer activity.
  • Right LED (Yellow, On): Indicates the port is working as intended without active data transfer.
• Versatile Power Adapter: The AC adapter comes with four interchangeable socket adapters (Type A, Type C, Type I, Type G) to accommodate different regional power outlets, making it suitable for international use. To install an adapter, users press it onto the socket and rotate. To remove, they press the latch and rotate counter-clockwise.
• Wall Mounting Capability: The ASW205T can be securely mounted on a wall, offering flexible placement options and helping to save desk space. The wall mounting instructions are straightforward:
  1. Drill two 6 mm holes 110 mm apart.
  2. Insert anchors into each hole.
  3. Tighten screws into the anchors, leaving 5 mm exposed.
  4. Align the mounting holes on the switch with the exposed screws and hang the device on the wall.
• Included Accessories: The package includes essential items for immediate use and installation:
  • AC adapter with four interchangeable socket adapters.
  • Foot pads for stable desktop placement.
  • Anchors and screws for wall mounting.
  • A Quick Installation Guide for easy setup.

Maintenance Features:

• Robust Operating Environment: The device is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and a humidity level of less than 85% (non-condensing), ensuring reliable performance in typical indoor conditions. Its non-operating temperature range of -10°C to 85°C also indicates durability during storage or transport.
• Unmanaged Simplicity: The lack of complex software or firmware means there are no regular updates or configurations required, simplifying long-term maintenance. Users do not need specialized IT knowledge to keep the device running.
• Visual Diagnostics: The LED indicators provide a quick visual diagnostic tool for network status and activity. Users can easily identify if a port is connected, at what speed, and if data is being transferred, which helps in basic troubleshooting.

The ASW205T is a practical and efficient solution for users looking to upgrade their network to 2.5 Gigabit speeds without the complexity of managed switches. Its compact design, versatile power options, and wall-mounting capability make it adaptable to various home and small office setups.
