Connect the switch
NOTE: Each connected
device requires a power adapter because the MS105 switch does not provide PoE
power.
NOTE: All switch ports support 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps. You can
connect any device to any switch port. We recommend that you use Category 5e
(Cat 5e) cables or higher‑rated cables for your connections.
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a
device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and
surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline
between the switch and the outdoor device.Failure to do so can damage the
switch.
WARNING: Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see
https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.
