TP-LINK TP-Link TL-SG108E Switches

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 traffic using port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics functions. To optimize traffic over your business network, the TL-SG108E offers both port- and tag-based QoS, ensuring that delay-sensitive traffic is processed smoothly and without interruptions. Furthermore, with port- and tag-based and MTU VLAN, better security can be achieved and the demand for more network segmentation can be met. 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 business network.

Simple and effective management
TP-LINK's TL-SG108E Gigabit Easy Smart switch offers network monitoring that allows the administrator to control traffic. Using port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics, the TL-SG108E can identify and even locate connection problems in your business network. The system administrator can determine traffic priority based on port priorities and 802.1P priority, to ensure that voice and video are always clear, smooth, and without delay. In addition, the TL-SG108E supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN, and 802.1Q-based VLAN functions to improve network security and performance. The TL-SG108E is an upgrade to the plug-and-play unmanaged switch, which is more than worth its money and also offers great benefits for the network and the end-user.

Turn your Ethernet green
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 to the connection status and cable length, to limit your network's carbon footprint.

Turn off inactive ports
If a computer or network device is 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 inactive ports.

Power budget based on cable length
Ideally, a shorter cable would consume less power and have less power loss. However, this is not the case with most devices, as they consume the same amount of power via 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 in the conventional way with power consumption.

Easy to use
The TL-SG108E is easy to use and manage. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports means no crossover cables or uplink ports are needed. Auto-negotiation on each port detects the connection speed of a network device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and negotiates 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 lights show the current status and diagnose any errors.
