TP-Link TL-SF1008D 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Desktop Switch

The TL-SF1008D 8-Port Desktop Switch provides a simple way to expand a wired network. It is designed for homes, small offices, shops, and workgroups that need additional Ethernet connections. Eight Fast Ethernet ports allow users to connect computers, printers, Internet Protocol phones, televisions, and other compatible devices without configuring network settings.

Product Overview

Each port supports 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation. Therefore, the switch detects the supported connection speed of each device automatically. Auto Medium-Dependent Interface and Medium-Dependent Interface Crossover also removes the need for crossover Ethernet cables.

The TL-SF1008D 8-Port Desktop Switch uses a non-blocking switching design and store-and-forward transmission. It filters and forwards network traffic efficiently. Moreover, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.3x flow control helps reduce data loss during busy network activity.

Key Features

• Provides eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports for expanding a small wired network.

• Supports auto-negotiation, allowing every port to select a suitable connection speed.

• Includes Auto MDI/MDIX, removing the need to identify straight-through or crossover cables.

• Offers a 1.6 Gbps switching capacity for handling traffic across all eight ports.
