ASUS QG-U1050 5-Port 2.5G Unmanaged Switch

Description

Overview

The ASUS QG-U1050 is a compact, fanless 5‑port unmanaged switch that provides multi‑gigabit wired connectivity for home and small office networks. Each of the five RJ‑45 ports supports 2.5GBase‑T (100/1000/2500 Mbps), enabling higher throughput for Wi‑Fi access points, NAS, gaming PCs and UHD streaming devices without upgrading cabling.

Key features

• Five 2.5G ports (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps) — IEEE 802.3bz compatible.
• Four selectable intelligent modes via front DIP switch: Priority, Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Port Isolation and Static Trunk (link aggregation for ports 4+5).
• Unmanaged, plug‑and‑play operation — no software configuration required.
• Fanless, quiet desktop design with compact dimensions (121 × 75 × 26 mm) and low power (external 12 V / 1 A adapter).
• Technical highlights: 16K MAC address table, 8 Mbit packet buffer, 10K‑byte jumbo frame support and switching performance of 18.6 Mpps (64‑byte packets).
• LED indicators for power and per‑port Link/Activity (green = 2.5Gbps, amber = 10/100/1000 Mbps; rapid blinking indicates loop detection).
• Package includes the QG‑U1050 switch, external power adapter, quick start guide and warranty card.

Who it suits

The QG‑U1050 is appropriate for users who need a simple way to add multi‑gigabit wired ports without a managed switch — for example to connect modern Wi‑Fi 6/7 access points, a 2.5G NAS or gaming PC. Because it is unmanaged and plug‑and‑play, it is quick to deploy where advanced VLANs or SNMP management are not required.
