The Linksys LN2305P-KE is a high-performance 5-port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit PoE+ switch designed to deliver ultra-fast, reliable, and energy-efficient network connectivity for small businesses, smart homes, and high-demand environments. With support for five 2.5-gigabit Ethernet ports, it provides up to 2.5× faster speeds than traditional gigabit switches — ideal for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as Wi-Fi 6/6E backhaul, 4K/8K video streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.
Built with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support, the LN2305P-KE can power up to five PoE devices simultaneously, such as access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power adapters and reducing cable clutter. It delivers a total PoE power budget of 60 W, with up to 30 W per port, providing flexibility and efficiency for a wide range of powered devices.
This switch features a fanless metal chassis that ensures silent operation and long-term reliability — perfect for noise-sensitive areas like offices, classrooms, and meeting rooms. The plug-and-play unmanaged design means there’s no complex configuration — simply connect your devices and enjoy high-speed networking instantly.
Energy-efficient Ethernet technology (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption during periods of low data activity, helping lower operational costs without sacrificing performance. Supporting jumbo frames up to 9K bytes, the LN2305P-KE enhances network throughput for NAS systems and data-heavy applications.
With its compact form factor, desktop or wall-mount options, and robust 25 Gbps switching capacity, the Linksys LN2305P-KE offers the perfect balance between performance, simplicity, and reliability — making it the ideal upgrade for any modern small business or advanced home network.
