With a few simple clicks, your network will be humming along, so you can get back to business. From the Manufacturer "The Zyxel GS1200-5v3 is a 5-port Gigabit web managed switch for home networks, small offices, and lab environments needing management capabilities beyond a basic unmanaged switch. All five RJ-45 ports deliver 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, providing 10 Gbps switching capacity at 7.44 Mpps for simultaneous connections from workstations, NAS drives, printers, and media servers. The browser-based GUI requires no software installation. It supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for isolating IoT devices, guest access, or departmental segments; port-based QoS with Weighted Round Robin for gaming, video call, or streaming prioritization; and IGMP snooping v1/v2/v3 for multicast efficiency. LACP link aggregation on ports 3 and 4 bonds throughput and adds redundancy for NAS or file server uplinks. Port mirroring enables traffic diagnostics. Broadcast storm control and loop prevention run automatically. ZON Utility helps discover neighboring devices during deployment. The compact metal chassis fits on a desk or wall without requiring rack space. The fully passive fanless design operates at zero acoustic noise at all times, suitable for bedrooms, reception areas, and open offices. LED ECO mode, accessible from the front panel or web GUI, disables all port activity LEDs. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet adjusts power per link activity. MTBF is 1,375,342 hours at 25°C. Input: 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C / 32°F to 104°F; storage: -40°C to 70°C / -40°F to 158°F; humidity: 10% to 95% non-condensing. Item dimensions are 121 x 75 x 26 mm / 4.76 x 2.95 x 1.02 in. and weight is 0.172 kg / 0.38 lbs." Review: Simple setup. Plug and play. - Working flawlessly. Doing what it does, managing the data traffic. I'm happy with it. Review: Great for the price, VLAN tagging and Trunk works splendit - First off, I like the Zyxel products. I have 2 of these and one GS1600 and GS2400 all manages. I run 4 VLANs and use Trunking bwrween all of them and it works flawlesly. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the setup. I noticed the initial setup with Chrome does not function. Same with Firefox. I ended up using the new Windows 10 browser (don't remeber the name, I'm mainly using Linux or Mac) or Opra - yes it still exists. I also had to reset it twice, though I am not sure it helped at all. I noticed when the browser does show a screen of the 90's (no images, white background and a 1st grader login screen) it won't work. Once I got logged in the first time though and changed the password all browser issues went away. This is something QA should have found and it happenes with both systems. Others complain with VLAN 1. I noticed all Zyxels I worked with run management on VLAN 1, if you remove it, reset the system if you ever want ro reconfigure it. But hey that's fine. Other than that I like it, I recommend it, especually for the price. I would have loved a differend color scheme though, not silver. Oh and what I forgot, I don't like is the password only allows a-zA-Z0-9. That ruins a bit my sysadmin passwords. ## Features - GIGABIT SWITCHING ACROSS ALL 5 PORTS: Each RJ-45 port runs 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto-MDI/MDIX and 10 Gbps switching capacity and 7.44 Mpps forwarding rate to connect PCs, NAS, printers, and media servers - WEB MANAGEMENT WITH VLAN, QOS, AND PORT MIRRORING: Browser GUI enables IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, Weighted Round Robin QoS, IGMP snooping v1/v2/v3, port mirroring, and broadcast storm control - LINK AGGREGATION ON PORTS THREE AND FOUR: LACP bonds two connections for higher uplink throughput and failover while the 4K MAC address table and 15 KB jumbo frames support a wide range of wired devices - FANLESS DESIGN WITH LED ECO MODE FOR QUIET WORKSPACES: Fully passive cooling operates at zero acoustic noise at all times; LED ECO mode disables all port activity LEDs via front-panel button or GUI for a distraction-free environment - ENERGY-EFFICIENT ETHERNET WITH LOOP AND STORM PROTECTION: IEEE 802.3az reduces power on idle links; automatic loop prevention and broadcast storm control keep the network stable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BNVTZ3S | | Best Sellers Rank | #341 in Computer Networking Switches | | Brand | ZYXEL | | Built-In Media | Network Switch, Power Adapter | | Case Material Type | Metal | | Color | Grey | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (163) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00760559125288 | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Weight | 0.85 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ZYXEL | | Mfr Part Number | GS1200-5 | | Model Number | GS1200-5 | | Number of Ports | 5 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Switch Type | managed | | UPC | 760559125288 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 50 Degrees Celsius | | Warranty Description | Limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZYXEL - **Color:** Grey - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Included Components:** Network Switch, Power Adapter - **Number of Ports:** 5 ## Images ![Zyxel 5-Port Network Switch | Web Managed Gigabit Ethernet Splitter| 5X GbE Ports | QoS, Link Aggregation, VLAN, IGMP Snooping | Fanless | Desktop [GS1200-5v3] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51w6ThqCj+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can you control how much megs each port get? i would like each port to get 5 megs..is that possible with this switch?** A: This switch lets you prioritize individual ports for QoS purposes, it however does not allow you to specify rate limits on each port. Take a look at our GS1920 series switches, they offer the ability to do per-port throughput limits. **Q: Does the 5 port switch do port mirroring?** A: If you have firmware v2, you can mirror to any physical port you want. This is a real plus for this network diagnostic feature at this price point. **Q: Are these stackable** A: If you mean, can they be managed by a common interface like an enterprise stackable switch, no. They can be daisy-chained though. **Q: Does Zyxel switch GS1200-5 support 802.3ad?** A: It supports VLANs and LAGs, but it's not clear if they are standards-based or if tagging is supported. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple setup.

I used it to terminate a MoCA link (Ethernet-over-Coax). For IEEE 802.1q trunking and general security, remember the following: 1. For the trunk port, make sure each in-use VLAN is set to "Tag Egress Member" which will presumably match your upstream switch (tagging for in-use VLANs is a best practice and only VLAN one can be untagged on a trunk anyway). 2. For access ports, make sure the VLAN is set to "Untag Egress Member" 3. REMEMBER: On access ports to make the PVID number match the VLAN number or else the access port *will not* function. 4. For defense against VLAN-hopping attacks I disabled the default-untagged VLAN 1 on the upstream switch trunk interface. For ~$30 this is a lot of capability. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zyxel 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Web-Managed Switch | VLAN Support | Sturdy Metal Case | Desktop or Wall-Mount | Fanless | QoS | Ethernet Splitter [GS1200-5] - TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter (UE306), Supports Nintendo Switch, Foldable USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter, Supports Windows, Linux, Apple MacBook OS 10.11 - 12(Driver Required) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/72502915-zyxel-5-port-network-switch-web-managed-gigabit-ethernet-splitter](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/72502915-zyxel-5-port-network-switch-web-managed-gigabit-ethernet-splitter) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
