TP-Link TL-SG108E

What does this product do? The TL-SG108E Gigabit Easy Smart switch with 8 ports is an ideal upgrade for an unmanaged switch and is designed for SMB networks with simple network management. The network administrator can efficiently monitor traffic using port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics features. To optimize traffic across your corporate network, the TL-SG108E offers both port-based and tag-based QoS, ensuring delay-sensitive traffic is handled smoothly and without interruptions. Moreover, better security can be achieved with port-based, tag-based, and MTU VLAN, meeting the demand for more network segmentation. Thanks to its innovative energy-saving technology, the TL-SG108E can save up to 80% on power consumption, making it an environmentally friendly solution for your corporate network. Easy and effective management The TL-SG108E gigabit easy smart switch from TP-LINK provides network monitoring allowing the administrator to check traffic. Using port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics, the TL-SG108E can identify and even locate connection problems in your corporate network. The system administrator can prioritize traffic based on port priorities and 802.1P priority to ensure that voice and video always run clear, smooth, and without delay. Additionally, the TL-SG108E supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN, and 802.1Q-based VLAN features to enhance network security and performance. The TL-SG108E is an upgrade from the plug-and-play unmanaged switch, well worth the investment and provides significant benefits for the network and end users. Go green with your ethernet You now have the choice to go green when upgrading to a gigabit network! The new generation of the TL-SG108E gigabit easy smart switch with 8 ports is equipped with the latest energy-efficient technologies, which increase your network capacity and significantly reduce power consumption. Power consumption is automatically adjusted based on connection status and cable length to limit your network's CO2 footprint. Disable inactive ports When a computer or network device is turned off, the corresponding port on a traditional switch continues to consume significant amounts of power. The TL-SG108E can automatically check the connection status of each port and reduce power consumption for ports that are not active. Power budget according to cable length Ideally, a shorter cable would consume less power and cause less power loss. However, this is not the case for most devices, as they draw the same amount of power through the cable regardless of whether it is 10 or 50 meters long. The TL-SG108E analyzes the length of the connected ethernet cable and adjusts power consumption accordingly, rather than using a conventional method based on energy consumption. Easy to use The TL-SG108E is easy to use and manage. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports means there are no more crossover cables or uplink ports needed. Auto-negotiation on each port detects the connection speed of a network device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and adjusts it for optimal compatibility and performance. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement on a desk or in a rack—practical and secure. The dynamic LED indicators show the current status and diagnose any errors.
