Features & Benefits

Affordable High-Performance Switching for Small Offices with Big Demands
The 3Com® OfficeConnect® Gigabit Switch 5 is designed for small or remote branch offices that need to run bandwidth-intensive video or multimedia applications, and connect to high-speed servers or a high-speed network backbone.

As part of the 3Com Green initiative, this switch is designed to use the latest 65nm technology and advanced idle power-down mode, saving 38% on power consumption on average. This OfficeConnect switch also has a minimized carbon footprint, due to it having one of the smallest form factors in the industry.

The Gigabit Switch 5 is ideal for upgrading hubs or switches when adding a gigabit workstation or laptop to an existing network: the switch provides gigabit speeds to these newer devices, while servicing existing connections at their current speeds.

This five-port gigabit switch is powerful, reliable and simple to install and operate. Plug-and-play convenience means the switch works right out of the box with no configuration or management required. Each of the five non-blocking, autosensing 10/100/1000 ports automatically adjusts to the speed of network devices.

IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization and auto MDI/MDIX on every port make this an economical switch with real networking value. And it's backed by a three year hardware warranty, with next business day advanced hardware replacement.

  • Five non-blocking, autosensing 10/100/1000 ports can be used as ultra high-speed links to servers or power users, or to connect the rest of the network through a central high-speed switch for bandwidth-intensive operations


  • With plug-and-play installation and no configuration needed, it fits easily in your unmanaged network


  • Auto MDI-MDIX on every port simplifies network expansion by eliminating most common cabling errors


  • IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization ensures that real-time programs such as video and audio applications take priority so they can run effectively


  • Full-duplex feature supports two-way data transfer, doubling the effective bandwidth of the network


  • Jumbo Frame support for reduced network load


  • Compact, fanless design ensures quiet operation in small office spaces


  • Connectors at rear help reduce cable clutter


  • FCC Class B switch is approved for use in home office and small office environments


  • Operating system independence helps ensure the seamless integration of different operating systems within your network, with no additional configuration required
