The Model FS105 switch is used as a desktop switch to build a small
network that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server.
Compared with a hub, where the network bandwidth is shared among
all users, the model FS105 switch provides dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps
(megabits per second) bandwidth to each PC.
If a full-duplex adapter card is installed in the server or PC, a 200
Mbps connection is possible on the port where the server or PC is
connected.

Auto Uplink™
The Auto Uplink technology that NETGEAR has included in this
product will automatically sense whether the straight-through cable
plugged into any port should have a ‘normal’ connection, e.g.
connecting to a PC; or an ‘uplink’ connection, e.g. connecting to a
router, switch, or hub. That port will then configure itself to the
correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry
about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type
of cable to make the right connection.
Note:
Auto Uplink will compensate for setting uplink
connections, and crossover or straight-through cables.
Using Auto Uplink to create multiple paths between any
two network devices will disable your network.

using Category 5 UTP cable and an RJ-45 plug.
Note:
Ethernet specifications limit the cable length
between your PC or server and the switch to 328 feet
(100 meters).
2. Connect one end of the DC power adapter cable to the power
outlet on the rear panel of the switch and the other end of the
power adapter cable to the wall outlet.
