Your Network Upgrade in 30 Seconds: Pure Plug & Play
No more complicated Network settings! The CUDY GS105D is an Unmanaged Gigabit Switch, designed for maximum simplicity. You just need to connect it to power and your Router, and four additional LAN ports are immediately available to you. Whether it's a PC, game console, smart TV, or printer – every device is instantly online at full speed. Thanks to Auto-MDI/MDIX, you don't even have to worry about the correct cable type.
Full Gigabit Power Meets Absolute Silence
Experience the full performance of your internet connection without compromise. With a switching capacity of 10 Gbps and a non-blocking architecture, the GS105D ensures that data packets are forwarded without delay. The best part? It operates completely silently. The fanless design provides passive cooling, making the Ethernet Switch perfect for the office desk or the living room sideboard.
Energy-Efficient Long-Runner with Extra Range
This little powerhouse is not only powerful but also a real saver. Thanks to modern Green IT technology (IEEE 802.3az), the Switch automatically adjusts its power consumption to the status of the ports and the length of the connected Cables. This protects the environment and your wallet. A special highlight is the extended range: where other Switches give up at 100 meters, the GS105D delivers stable Gigabit connections over up to 140 meters.
Compact, Flexible, and Optimized for Streaming
With its tiny dimensions, the CUDY GS105D fits anywhere. Whether on your desk or discreetly wall-mounted – it blends seamlessly into any environment. For all streaming fans, it has a clever feature on board: IGMP Snooping (from v5.0) optimizes multicast traffic, which ensures a smooth and stable TV experience, especially with IPTV services like MagentaTV. A perfect small Gigabit LAN Distributor for modern multimedia households.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need special software or do I have to set something up for your CUDY Switch?
No, absolutely not! The GS105D is a pure Plug & Play Ethernet Switch. You unpack it, connect the Power Supply, and link it to your Router via an Ethernet Cable. All other devices you connect will be online immediately, without any configuration.
Can I increase my internet speed with the Switch?
The Ethernet Switch itself doesn't increase your internet connection speed. However, it ensures that the full speed of your Gigabit connection (up to 1000 Mbit/s) is stably distributed to all your connected devices. This is a huge advantage over slower Ethernet Switches or weak WiFi, especially for your gaming setup, 4K streaming, or large downloads.
What does 'Auto-MDI/MDIX' mean and why is it useful for me?
It's simple: You don't have to worry about the correct Network Cabling. Previously, you needed special 'crossover cables'. Thanks to Auto-MDI/MDIX, your Ethernet Switch automatically detects what type of Ethernet Cable is connected and adapts. So you can use any standard Ethernet Cable you have on hand.
Your Ethernet Switch is fanless. Can it overheat with heavy use?
No, it's designed for that. Its Enclosure is designed to passively dissipate heat. Since it's also extremely energy-efficient, very little waste heat is generated. So you can safely run it continuously without having to worry about overheating or annoying noise.
Can I also use the Ethernet Switch for my IPTV, such as MagentaTV?
Yes, absolutely. Newer versions support 'IGMP Snooping'. This technology intelligently manages IPTV stream traffic, forwarding it only to the ports where your media receiver is connected. This relieves the rest of your Network and ensures a stable TV picture without stuttering.
Which Cable length do you recommend for a stable Gigabit connection?
For a stable Gigabit speed, you should use at least a Cat.5e Ethernet Cable. With such a Cable, this Ethernet Switch even supports distances of up to 140 meters. This gives you much more flexibility when it comes to Cabling your apartment or office.
