Highlights & Details 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports with auto tuning and auto MDI/MDIX Green Ethernet, saves up to 80% energy Concentrated, suitable for extremely heavy soilingPlastic housing for table-top or wall mounting Plug-and-play, no configuration necessary Description of the The TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit desktop switch from TP-LINK offers an easy way to make the transition to Gigabit Ethernet. Increase the speed of your network servers and backbone connections or make Gigabit a reality in your workplace. The TL-SG1008D is also designed for lower power consumption. With the TL-SG1008D's innovative, energy-efficient technology, you can save up to 80%* energy, making this device an environmentally friendly solution for your home and office network. Gigabit switch Equipped with 8 10/100/1000Mbps ports, the TL-SG1008D significantly expands your network capacity, enabling the instant transfer of large files. This means frequent users in the home, office, workgroup or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer documents, programmes or multimedia files over the network without delay. Switch to green with your Ethernet You now have the option to go green if you want to upgrade to a Gigabit network! This new generation TL-SG1008D 8-port Gigabit switch features the latest innovative, energy-efficient technology that can significantly expand your network capacity with much less energy consumption. It automatically adapts the power consumption to the connection status and cable length to improve the eco-balance of your network. Power down when ports are not active When a computer or network device is switched off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch continues to consume a significant amount of power. The TL-SG1008D automatically recognises the link status of each port and reduces the power consumption of ports that are idle, resulting in energy savings of up to 80%. Energy allocation according to cable length Ideally, shorter cables would consume less power because less energy is lost over the length of the cable. This is not the case with most devices as they send the same amount of power over the cable regardless of whether it is 10 or 50 metres long. The TL-SG1008D analyses the length of the connected Ethernet cable and adjusts the power allocation accordingly instead of keeping the power consumption at the level of the conventional solution. Easy handling The automatic functions of this Gigabit switch make installation easy thanks to plug-and-play. No configuration is required. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables. Auto-tuning on each port recognises the connection speed of a network device (10, 100 or 1000Mbps) and intelligently adapts to ensure compatibility and optimum performance.
