Your Network Upgrade in 30 Seconds: Gigabit LAN Ethernet Switch Plug and Play
No more complicated Network settings! The Cudy GS105 is an Unmanaged Ethernet Switch that works on the simplest principle in the world: Plug & Play. You just need to connect it to power and your Router, plug in your devices like PC, game console, Smart TV, or NAS, and you're online. No software, no app, and no technical knowledge are required. This way, you literally expand your wired Network in no time and create a stable, fast basis for your Ethernet Switch for Gaming and Home Office.
Built to Last: Silent Operation in a Robust Metal Casing
While other Switches rely on cheap plastic, the GS105 comes in a robust and high-quality metal casing. This not only looks better but also offers two crucial advantages: It acts as a passive heatsink, efficiently dissipating the low operating heat without a disruptive fan. The result is absolutely silent operation, perfect for your desk or living room. At the same time, the metal reliably protects the internal electronics from external influences and ensures an exceptionally long lifespan.
More Than Just Standard: Extended Range for Your Entire House
Normally, 100 meters is the limit. The Cudy GS105 breaks this barrier, offering stable Gigabit data transmission over a distance of up to 140 meters. This is an enormous advantage if you need to bridge larger distances in your home or office without wanting to install an expensive WiFi Repeater or a second Ethernet Switch. With a high-quality Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet Cable, you can utilize the full performance of the Ethernet Switch even where Others have long given up. This Ethernet Switch extended range 140m is a clear unique selling point.
Smart Power Saving with Green Ethernet
An Ethernet Switch often runs around the clock. Therefore, low energy consumption is even more important. The Cudy GS105 is equipped with modern Green Ethernet technology. This automatically detects whether a connected device is turned off or a port is not in use and puts it into a sleep state. Additionally, the Ethernet Switch adjusts the transmission power to the length of the connected Ethernet Cable. This significantly reduces power consumption, saving your wallet and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you need special software to set up the Cudy GS105?
No, absolutely not! The GS105 is an 'Unmanaged Plug & Play' Ethernet Switch. You just need to connect it to power and your Router, plug in your devices, and everything will work – no configuration needed.
Can you increase your internet speed with this Ethernet Switch?
No, the Ethernet Switch won't increase your internet connection speed. However, it ensures that the full power of your Gigabit plan reaches all your wired devices without loss – often much more stable and faster than over WiFi.
What does the '140-meter transmission distance' mean, and do you need special Cabling for it?
Normally, 100 meters is the limit. However, this Ethernet Switch achieves stable Gigabit connections over up to 140 meters! For this, you'll need at least good Cat 5e Ethernet Cables, but for the best performance, we recommend Cat 6 or higher.
Can you also use the Ethernet Switch to power other devices (PoE)?
No, this model does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The ports are purely for data. If you want to power a device like an IP Camera via an Ethernet Cable, you'll need a dedicated PoE Injectors / Power Supplies or a PoE Switch.
Does the Ethernet Switch with its metal Enclosures get very hot when running?
Don't worry! The robust metal Enclosures acts like a large heatsink. It dissipates heat super efficiently, so the Ethernet Switch will only get lukewarm at most. And the best part: since it has no fan, it's absolutely silent.
Is the Ethernet Switch compatible with my Router and my devices?
Yes, absolutely! The Ethernet Switch follows common Network standards and therefore works seamlessly with any Router (e.g., Fritz!Box) and any device that has a LAN port. Whether it's your PC, PlayStation, Smart-TV, or NAS – just plug it in and get started.
