Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your UGREEN 5-Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch:
- Unpack the Device: Carefully remove the Ethernet switch and the included DC 12V 1A power adapter from the packaging.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the DC 12V power port on the switch. Then, connect the other end of the power adapter to a standard electrical outlet.
- Connect Network Devices: Use standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher recommended for 2.5G speeds) to connect your network devices (e.g., computer, router, NAS, game console) to any of the five RJ45 ports on the switch.
- Verify Connections: Ensure all cables are securely plugged into their respective ports. The LED indicators on the switch will illuminate to show active connections.
- Placement: You can place the switch on a desk or mount it on a wall using the integrated mounting holes on the back for a space-saving installation.
Note: For optimal 2.5Gbps performance, ensure your router, server, and connected devices support 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and use appropriate Ethernet cables.

Operating Instructions
The UGREEN 5-Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch is designed for simple, unmanaged operation:
- Automatic Operation: Once powered on and connected, the switch automatically detects and configures the speed and duplex mode for each connected device. It supports 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps speeds.
- Auto MDI/MDIX: The switch features Auto MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables. You can use any standard Ethernet cable for direct connections.
- LED Indicators: Each port has a corresponding LED indicator. These LEDs provide visual feedback on the connection status and network activity for each port.
- Data Transmission: The switch facilitates high-speed data transfer between all connected devices, enhancing network performance for tasks like large file transfers, online gaming, and 4K streaming.

Maintenance
The UGREEN 5-Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch is designed for low maintenance due to its fanless operation. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Ventilation: Ensure the device is placed in a location with adequate airflow. Do not block the ventilation holes on the sides and bottom of the switch.
- Environment: Avoid exposing the switch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, or corrosive environments.
- Cable Management: Keep network cables organized and free from kinks or excessive bending to prevent signal degradation.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UGREEN 5-Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power:
- Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet.
- Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- No Link Light/Connection:
- Verify that Ethernet cables are securely connected to both the switch and the connected device.
- Try using a different Ethernet cable to rule out a faulty cable.
- Ensure the connected device (e.g., computer, router) is powered on and its network adapter is enabled.
- Slow Network Speed:
- Confirm that all connected devices and your router support 2.5Gbps Ethernet for maximum speed.
- Ensure you are using high-quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) and that their length does not exceed 100 meters to prevent signal attenuation.
- Check for network congestion or other devices consuming significant bandwidth on your network.
- Intermittent Connection:
- Check for loose cable connections at both ends.
- Restart the switch by unplugging and re-plugging the power adapter. Also, restart the connected network devices.
- Ensure the switch is not overheating (though unlikely with its fanless design, ensure proper ventilation).
