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 intended for SMB networks with simple network management. The network administrator can efficiently monitor the traffic using port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics features. To optimize traffic over your corporate network, the TL-SG108E offers both port-based and tag-based QoS, ensuring that latency-sensitive traffic is processed 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.

Simple and effective management
The TL-SG108E gigabit easy smart switch from TP-LINK provides network monitoring that allows the administrator to check traffic. Using port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics, the TL-SG108E can identify and even locate connection issues in your corporate network. The system administrator can set the priority of traffic based on port priorities and 802.1P priority, ensuring that voice and video always run clear, smooth, and without delay. Furthermore, the TL-SG108E supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN, and 802.1Q-based VLAN functions to enhance network security and performance. The TL-SG108E is an upgrade from the plug-and-play unmanaged switch, well worth its price, and offers significant benefits for the network and end-user.

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-saving technologies, increasing your network capacity while significantly reducing power consumption. The energy consumption is automatically adjusted according to the connection status and cable length to minimize the carbon footprint of your network.

Disabling inactive ports
If a computer or network device is turned off, the associated port on a traditional switch continues to consume substantial amounts of power. The TL-SG108E can automatically check the connection status of each port and reduce the power consumption of inactive ports.

Power budget based on cable length
Ideally, a shorter cable should consume less power and experience less power loss. However, this is not the case with most devices, as they consume 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 instead of 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 eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. 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 safe. The dynamic LED indicators show the current status and diagnose any errors.
