Deployment / Use Cases
This switch serves as an ideal network expansion solution for environments where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliable connectivity take priority over advanced management features. Its five Fast Ethernet ports provide sufficient connectivity for typical small workgroup needs.
Common deployment scenarios include extending network access in conference rooms, laboratories, lobby areas, and department workgroups where additional wired connections are needed quickly. The wall-mount capability makes it particularly suitable for installations where desk space is limited or where clean cable management is desired.
Small Office/Home Office Networks
Connect computers, printers, network storage, and other peripherals to create or expand a local area network without complex setup.
Departmental Workgroup Expansion
Add wired connectivity for additional workstations in office departments, labs, or conference rooms where wireless coverage may be insufficient.
Physical Profile
The switch features a compact, lightweight design measuring 5.16 inches wide, 3.98 inches deep, and 1.18 inches high (131 x 101 x 30 mm). Weighing just 13.40 ounces (380 grams), it supports both desktop placement and wall mounting via included hardware. The small footprint and dual installation options provide flexibility for space-constrained environments while maintaining organized cable routing.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.18" (30 mm), 5.16" (131 mm), 3.98" (101 mm), 13.40 oz (380 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this Allied Telesis switch?
The CentreCOM FS710/5E provides five Fast Ethernet RJ-45 ports, allowing you to connect up to five wired devices such as computers, printers, network storage, or other peripherals. As an unmanaged switch, it automatically handles traffic between connected devices without requiring configuration.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?
This is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without configuration interfaces, VLAN support, or advanced traffic management features. Managed switches offer those capabilities but require setup and administration. Unmanaged switches like the FS710/5E are ideal for simple network expansions where plug-and-play operation is preferred.
What network speeds does this switch support?
The switch supports Fast Ethernet technology, specifically 10/100Base-TX, which provides network speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps per port depending on the connected device capabilities. It automatically negotiates the optimal speed with each connected device without requiring manual configuration.
Can this switch be mounted on a wall?
Yes, the CentreCOM FS710/5E supports both desktop placement and wall mounting. The compact design includes mounting hardware for secure wall installation, helping organize cables and conserve desk space in office environments, conference rooms, or other locations where surface space is limited.
What Layer 2 features does this switch include?
As a Layer 2 switch, it provides IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic handling, port mirroring for network monitoring purposes, and spanning tree protocol to prevent network loops. These features enhance network reliability and performance even in this unmanaged switch configuration.
What is included in the package with this Ethernet switch?
The package contains the CetreCOM FS710/5E Ethernet Switch unit and a power supply unit (PSU). This includes everything needed for immediate deployment—simply connect your network devices to the switch ports, plug in the power supply, and the switch begins operating automatically.
