Intended use
The product is intended for cable-based networking of computers or other devices suitable for
the purpose. Depending on the version, 3, 5 or 8 twisted-pair connections (RJ45) are available.
Power is supplied via USB; suitable cable is enclosed. Alternatively, an external wall plug trans-
former may be used as well (not included in the delivery, can be ordered separately).
Always observe the safety instructions and all other information included in these operating
instructions.
This product complies with the applicable National and European requirements. All names of

Safety Instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for any consequen-
tial damage!
Nor do we assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by

the warranty will be null and void.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE).
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.
• The product is only intended for use in dry, indoor locations. The product must not
get damp or wet.
• Do not leave packing materials unattended. They may become dangerous
playthings for children.
• Handle the product with care, it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
drops, even from a low height.
Getting Started, Connection
• Connect the switch to a USB port on your computer or to a USB hub using the USB power
cable enclosed.
☞
The USB port must be able of supplying a current of 500 mA. Therefore, you will
need, for example, a USB port on a computer or a USB hub with a separate power
supply.
The USB port on a keyboard, or a USB hub without a power adapter, does not sup-
ply suffi cient current; the switch cannot be used in these cases!
As an alternative to the enclosed USB power cable, an external wall plug transformer may
also be used (not included, can be ordered separately). This must supply an output voltage
of +5 V/DC and a current of at least 500 mA.
The switch has a MiniUSB and a MicroUSB port. Therefore, you can use a wall plug trans-
former with one of the two suitable connectors.
Caution!
Use either the MiniUSB or the MicroUSB port. Never use both ports at the same
time.
• The network switch's RJ45 connections must be connected to the appropriate RJ45 ports on
the network cards (or another network switch) using suitable network cables (we recommend
cables that meet the standard CAT5e).
☞
The network switch supplied has automatic uplink recognition for each port, which
allows for particularly simple wiring to other switches. A cross-link cable is no longer
required; you can use a conventional 1:1 connected network cable.
Maintenance and Cleaning
www.conrad.com
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any
reason.
Version 06/12
Disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning (all network connections will
cease to function).
Dust can easily be removed using a clean, soft brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these can cause discolouration.
Do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning, to prevent scratch marks.
Tips & Notes
• If you have your own network or system administrator for your network (as will probably be
the case in a larger company), please let this person assume the responsibility for connection
and wiring. Do not connect the network switch yourself!
• The twisted-pair cable (also called a patch cable) between the network switch and the device
to be connected should have a max. length of 100m. Use as a minimum so-called CAT5e
cables, which are fully wired (all 8 contacts of the RJ45 connector are connected 1:1).
• The maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 10 or 100 MBit/s is usually not achieved in
practice (e.g. 100MBit = approx. 12.5MByte/s). During data transmission, not only data, but
also protocol information etc is transmitted, data packages must be repeated or different
computers may want to transmit data at the same time. Furthermore, the data for example
may need to be read off the hard disk of one computer and written onto the hard disk of
another computer.
• If the network switch is not supplied with power, all the connections will be out of operation. A
network connection is not possible.
• The Link/Act LED belonging to each RJ45 port is lit during an active network connection and
fl ashes during data transfer. The power LED is lit when the network switch is supplied with
power.
