TP-Link TL-SX1008 8-Port 10 Gigabit Switch
The TL-SX1008 delivers eight 10-Gigabit ports with 160 Gbps switching capacity, providing professional-grade network performance for business offices, home workstations, and data-intensive applications. This metal-encased switch supports auto-negotiation across five speeds (100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5G/10G), ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure while delivering maximum bandwidth to connected devices.
High-Performance 10G Connectivity
Each of the eight RJ-45 ports supports speeds up to 10 Gbps, enabling lightning-fast data transfer between NAS systems, servers, workstations, and WiFi 6 access points. The 119.0 Mpps packet forwarding rate and 2 Mb packet buffer memory ensure smooth data flow even under heavy network loads. With support for jumbo frames up to 10 KB and a 32K MAC address table, the TL-SX1008 handles enterprise-level traffic efficiently.
Multi-Gigabit Compatibility
Auto-negotiation technology detects connected device capabilities and adjusts port speeds accordingly, from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps. This switch works with standard Cat5e cables for speeds up to 2.5G, while Cat6a or better cables enable full 10G performance across distances up to 100 meters. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, simplifying installation.
Versatile Deployment Options
The dual-purpose design accommodates both desktop placement with included rubber feet and standard rack mounting with the provided rackmount kit. The durable metal housing with heat-dissipating design supports operation in temperatures from 0–50°C, making it suitable for various environments from climate-controlled offices to warmer spaces.
Quality of Service and Flow Control
Built-in 802.1p/DSCP QoS prioritizes time-sensitive traffic like gaming data and video streaming, while 802.3X flow control prevents packet loss during network congestion. The store-and-forward switching method ensures error-free packet transmission across the network.
Plug-and-Play Operation
No configuration required—simply connect devices and power on. The intelligent cooling system with single fan adjusts speed based on temperature, balancing performance with noise levels. LED indicators on each port display link status and activity at a glance.
