LS1005G DESKTOP SWITCH TP-LINK
LS1005G DESKTOP SWITCH TP-LINK – 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Network Switch
The LS1005G DESKTOP SWITCH TP-LINK (part of TP-Link’s LiteWave Series) is an unmanaged 5-port Gigabit desktop switch designed for expanding wired home and small office networks. Built with five auto-negotiation 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports, this compact switch delivers high-speed Gigabit connectivity to bandwidth-intensive devices such as computers, IP cameras, game consoles, and smart TVs.
Featuring a true plug-and-play architecture, the LS1005G DESKTOP SWITCH TP-LINK requires zero software configuration or setup. Each port supports Auto-MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables. Designed with energy-efficient Green Ethernet technology, the switch dynamically adjusts power consumption according to link status and cable length to minimize energy usage.
As shown in the product image, the switch features a matte black plastic casing with five numbered front-facing RJ45 Ethernet ports, each fitted with individual green LED status indicators, alongside a subtle TP-Link logo printed on the top surface.

Installation Guidelines and Best Practices
QUICK SETUP TIP: Connect the power adapter to the rear DC port first, then use standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to link your devices.
Cable Recommendation: Use Category 5e (Cat5e) or Category 6 (Cat6) cabling to achieve full 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) speeds across all connected ports.
Placement & Ventilation: Place the switch on a clean flat surface or mount it vertically using the integrated bottom mounting slots. Ensure side airflow space is clear for heat dissipation.
