The INTELLINET I-SWHUB GB-500 is a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch suited to home, entertainment-system and small-office environments. It connects computers, game consoles, network printers, streaming-media players and Smart TVs at up to 1000 Mbps using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables. All five ports auto-detect link speed and use Auto MDI/MDX so no crossover cables are needed.

Green Ethernet energy-saving technology reduces power consumption by switching off unused ports. The fanless design eliminates noise, and the compact enclosure fits unobtrusively on a desk or shelf. Installation is plug-and-play: connect the power supply, plug in cables, and the switch operates immediately.

Key Features

• 5 auto-sensing RJ45 ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps
• Store-and-forward switching architecture with zero packet loss
• Green Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) powers down unused ports automatically
• Auto MDI/MDX on all ports — no crossover cable required
• Fanless, compact design for silent operation
• Compatible with Windows and Macintosh systems
• Half and full duplex support on all ports

Product Benefits

• Immediately expands a router or network to five devices without configuration
• Gigabit speeds handle 4K streaming, large file transfers and gaming simultaneously without congestion
• Green Ethernet saves energy in environments where not all ports are in continuous use
• Fanless enclosure is silent, making it ideal for living rooms and home offices
