TP-Link TL-SF1008D - unmanaged 8-port desktop switch, white

The TP-Link TL-SF1008D 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Desktop Switch expands wired local area networks without the need for configuration. As an unmanaged, plug-and-play device, it connects additional hardware—such as computers, printers, or network storage—to an existing network segment. Its eight RJ45 ports support Fast Ethernet speeds, providing up to 100 Mbps per connection. Users can connect devices using standard network cables, with no software or administrative setup required. The hardware manages traffic routing internally.

Housed in a white plastic chassis, the switch has a compact footprint of 134.5 x 79 x 22.5 mm, allowing it to sit on shelves or desks. Mounting slots on the underside allow the device to be wall-mounted, which helps keep cables tidy. The fanless design relies on passive cooling for silent operation. Power is supplied via a DC input at the rear, and top-mounted LEDs indicate power status and individual link activity.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX removes the need for crossover cables, automatically adjusting to standard patch leads.
• A 1.6 Gbit/s switching capacity supports non-blocking data forwarding, maintaining throughput during high network demand.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control reduces packet loss during congestion to ensure reliable transfers between devices.
• A 1000-entry MAC address table provides sufficient capacity for managing devices on a local network.
• Maximum power consumption is 2.2 W, ensuring low energy usage and heat output during operation.
• Support for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards ensures compatibility with both legacy and modern equipment.
• A 2 MB packet buffer stores incoming data frames to manage bursts in network traffic.
