PLANET FSD-503 – Compact 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch for SOHO and Home Networks

The PLANET FSD-503 is a compact, energy-efficient Fast Ethernet switch designed for small office, home office (SOHO), and home networking environments. It delivers excellent performance in a space-saving design, with power consumption reduced by 28% compared to its predecessor.

Compact and Flexible Installation:

With dimensions of just 100 x 64 x 24 mm and a weight of only 148g, the FSD-503 fits easily into tight networking spaces. The desktop or wall-mountable design makes it ideal for SOHO applications.

High-Speed Ethernet Switching:

Equipped with five 10/100Mbps ports, the FSD-503 utilizes a Store-and-Forward switching mechanism for low-latency and high-integrity data delivery. It offers excellent throughput with wire-speed packet forwarding rates up to 148,800pps at 100Mbps, ideal for workgroups of up to 50 users.

Plug & Play Simplicity:
All RJ45 ports support 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDI-X, allowing easy connection without crossover cables. IEEE 802.3x flow control ensures reliable performance in full-duplex mode, making it easy to connect directly to routers, servers, or other switches.

Smart MAC Address Management:

The FSD-503 supports up to 1,000 MAC addresses and uses a 488Kbit packet buffer for optimized bandwidth. Its intelligent address learning and aging features provide seamless packet forwarding without loss.
