Product Overview
The OPTONE 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch (OPT-104) is a compact, high-performance unmanaged network switch specifically designed for IP security surveillance, small office networks, and remote edge deployments. Equipped with one 10/100M uplink Ethernet port and four downstream 10/100M Ethernet ports, it allows multiple local wired devices to connect seamlessly back to a central router or core switch.
Engineered with practical industrial features, the OPT-104 supports port-based VLAN isolation to prevent broadcast storms and secure isolated data streams between ports. Featuring a wide 9-52V DC power input range, a fanless natural cooling design, 1K MAC address table, and a durable metal enclosure, it guarantees stable, reliable operation in demanding environments.
Key Features & Benefits
1+4 Port Uplink Configuration: Features 1 x uplink Ethernet port and 4 x downstream Ethernet ports, providing an ideal topology for security camera clusters and localized device grouping.
Port-Based VLAN Isolation: Supports port-based VLAN to isolate downstream ports from each other while keeping communication open with the uplink port, effectively suppressing broadcast storms.
Wide DC Power Input Range: Accepts a flexible 9 to 52V DC power input, making it exceptionally adaptable to various power supply environments and industrial power setups.
Fanless Natural Cooling: Operates completely silently with a reliable fanless thermal design, ensuring high durability and lower maintenance in enclosed or noise-sensitive spaces.
Compact & Rugged Metal Housing: Built in a pocket-sized, heavy-duty metal enclosure (97 x 69 x 26mm) that offers superior heat dissipation and physical protection.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Fully unmanaged with auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX crossover, and dynamic LED indicators for instant, zero-configuration deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How does the port-based VLAN function work on the OPT-104?
On the OPT-104, the port-based VLAN isolates the 4 downstream ports from communicating with one another, but each of them can still communicate independently with the 1 uplink port. This is ideal for security camera systems, preventing inter-device interference and broadcast storms while ensuring all cameras stream smoothly to the main NVR/router.
Q2: What is the benefit of the wide 9-52V DC power input?
The wide voltage range gives you incredible deployment flexibility. It allows the switch to be powered safely across diverse power setups, standard wall adapters, or specialized industrial power supplies without risking hardware damage from voltage fluctuations.
Q3: Does the OPT-104 require any software configuration or drivers?
No. The OPT-104 is a true plug-and-play unmanaged device. It automatically detects link speeds, duplex modes, and cable types right out of the box with zero IP configuration required.
