Frequently Asked Questions
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the MS105-100NAS is a non-PoE switch. It is designed strictly for high-speed data transmission to devices with their own power sources.
Can I use standard Cat5e cables to achieve 2.5G speeds?
Yes, 2.5GBASE-T is specifically designed to operate over existing Cat5e or better cabling at distances up to 100 meters, avoiding the need for a full cable overhaul.
Is any manual configuration required for the multi-gig ports?
No, the switch features auto-negotiation technology, which automatically detects and sets the optimal speed (100M, 1G, or 2.5G) based on the connected device’s capability.
