Description

Cradlepoint BKA5-01005GC-GM 5-Port Gigabit Industrial Switch

Overview

The Cradlepoint BKA5-01005GC-GM is a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch built for small branch and edge deployments where you need compact, industrial-rated connectivity without complexity. It integrates with NetCloud-based network architectures and delivers 850 Mbps firewall throughput — sufficient for distributed locations running branch security cameras, access control, or point-of-sale infrastructure. The unit operates across 0–40 °C (32–104 °F) and is designed for wall or desktop mounting in tight spaces typical of remote retail, warehouse, or field locations.

Compatibility

The BKA5-01005GC-GM integrates directly into Cradlepoint NetCloud small branch solutions and standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures. It works as a Layer 2 switch within deployments using Cradlepoint edge routers and security appliances. Accepts standard RJ-45 patch cables and works with any 802.3af or higher PoE-injected devices on its ports. No special drivers or firmware updates are required for basic switching — plug in and operate.

Installation Notes

No rack-mount kit is available for this model — it is designed for wall or desktop placement. All five Gigabit ports are standard RJ-45 connectors requiring CAT5e or better twisted-pair cabling. The unit draws power via an external adapter (specs not detailed in available evidence); confirm power supply availability before installation. Industrial temperature rating (0–40 °C) means standard office or warehouse environments are fully supported, but confirm ambient conditions if deploying in uncontrolled outdoor spaces or near heat sources.
