Ethernet switch LOGILINK NS204 4-portový Gigabit 1000Mbit/s s 1x SFP

LOGILINK NS204 is a compact 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch providing 1000 Mbit/s full-duplex data transfer on each copper port and a single SFP slot for fiber uplinks. The device is intended to extend wired LAN capacity in small offices, home networks or edge deployments where reliable, low-latency connectivity and a simple plug-and-play installation are required. Its small footprint and fanless design make it suitable for desktop or shelf placement while the combination of four Gigabit RJ45 ports and one SFP port enables connectivity to both copper-based devices and a fiber backbone.

Advantages

The switch supports Gigabit speeds on all copper ports, allowing high-throughput connections for workstations, NAS devices or access points. The integrated SFP slot adds flexibility by enabling fiber connectivity for longer-distance links or connection to a fiber uplink without additional converters. With no configuration required, the device provides instant network expansion and stable wired performance with low power consumption and near-silent operation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Expanding LAN capacity in small offices or home networks
• Connecting desktops, printers, network storage and access points
• Creating a short-distance aggregation point to a fiber uplink
• Edge deployments where compact, fanless switches are preferred

Key specifications

• Number of copper ports: 4 × Gigabit RJ45 (1000 Mbit/s)
• Uplink slot: 1 × SFP for fiber modules
• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s per copper port, full-duplex
• Switching mode: unmanaged, plug-and-play operation
• Form factor: compact, desktop / shelf mountable; fanless design
• Power: external power adapter (low power consumption)

How to use

Install the LOGILINK NS204 on a stable surface and connect the external power adapter. Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher recommended) to connect computers, printers or other network devices to the Gigabit RJ45 ports. If a fiber uplink is required, insert a compatible SFP module into the SFP slot and connect the fiber cable to the module. The switch operates automatically without configuration: it will negotiate link speed and duplex with connected devices and forward traffic between ports.

Recommendations

For best performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables for copper connections and choose SFP modules that match the fiber type and distance of your uplink. Place the switch in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Back up critical configurations on connected network devices, and ensure proper grounding of fiber equipment where applicable.
