ASUS QG-U1050 unmanaged 2.5G Ethernet (100/1000/2500) bianco

The ASUS QG-U1050 is an unmanaged desktop Ethernet switch with five 2.5G RJ-45 ports (100/1000/2500) that provides higher per-port bandwidth for wired devices. Compact and lightweight, it supports IEEE 802.3ab/bz/az/u/x standards, a 16,000-entry MAC address table and 12 V DC input, making it suitable for home and small office networks that need faster wired connections without configuration.

Advantages

The QG-U1050 removes traditional Gigabit bottlenecks by offering 2.5G speeds over standard CAT5e cables, enabling more consistent throughput for WiFi 6/7 access points, NAS devices, gaming PCs and 4K streaming equipment. As an unmanaged switch it requires no setup — just plug and play — while supporting priority, EEE, port isolation and static trunk functions to improve traffic handling and network protection.

Suitable for

• Upgrading wired links for WiFi 6/7 access points
• Small office and home networks needing higher per-port bandwidth
• Connecting NAS, gaming PCs and 4K streaming devices
• Simple plug-and-play network expansion
