TP-Link TL-SG108 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
The TP-Link TL-SG108 provides a straightforward upgrade to gigabit Ethernet for home offices and small businesses. This 8-port unmanaged switch delivers 10/100/1000Mbps speeds across all ports, enabling fast file transfers and network expansion without configuration requirements.
Gigabit Performance for Bandwidth-Intensive Tasks
With 8 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation RJ45 ports, the TL-SG108 handles large file transfers efficiently. The switch supports a packet forwarding rate of 11.9Mpps with 1.5Mb buffer memory and 4K MAC address table capacity. Transfer graphics, CAD files, multimedia content, and other bandwidth-intensive data across your network with 16KB jumbo frame support.
Energy-Efficient Network Design
The TL-SG108 incorporates green Ethernet technology that reduces power consumption by up to 82%. The switch automatically adjusts power based on link status and cable length, consuming only 3.3W maximum. This fanless design operates silently while minimizing your network's carbon footprint and energy costs.
Reliable Data Transfer and QoS
IEEE 802.3x flow control ensures reliable data transfer across the network. The switch supports 802.1p/DSCP QoS for traffic prioritization and IGMP Snooping for efficient multicast traffic management. Store-and-forward transfer method maintains data integrity during transmission.
Plug-and-Play Installation
No configuration required - simply connect your devices and power on. Auto-MDI/MDIX support eliminates the need for crossover cables. The durable steel housing offers desktop or wall-mounting options, measuring 6.2 x 4.0 x 1.0 inches. Link/Act LED indicators on each port provide instant status visibility.
