Smallest 5 port Gigabit switch?

bremen1874 · 13 Dec 2011 at 03:02

The smallest 5 port Gigabit switch I'm aware of is the Netgear GS105/GS105E at 94 x 104 x 28 mm.

Is there anything equally small, or preferably smaller, available from anyone else?

Thanks.

Can't think of any thing smaller for a gigabit switch.
There are one or two non gigabit switches that are smaller by a few mm.

I would say my HP Procurve is smaller (I've also got a GS105) and that's got 8 ports.

Interesting, just found my old Procurve 1410 8 port gigabit switch & measuring it's 156x97x25 mm.

It looks like there two versions of the GS105. There’s the small square version, and also a larger rectangular version (basically the same size as a HP 1410-8G at 156 x 96.5 x 24.5 mm).

The GS105E still appears to be only available in the small square version.

I can't think of a smaller gb switch than the Netgear, it is pretty small.

Thanks all.

It looks like the Netgear GS105/GS105E is the smallest option.

I've worked out that the original v1 GS105 was larger, the v2 and v3 both use the smaller case. Unfortunately many retailers are confusing the issue by mixing and matching the dimensions and product pictures.
