The TP-Link TL-SF1008D is an 8-port 10/100Mbps desktop switch that offers an efficient and reliable solution for expanding your home or small office network. This switch is designed with innovative energy-saving technology, which can save up to 70% of power consumption compared to traditional switches.
One of the key features of the TL-SF1008D is its support for IEEE 802.3x flow control in full-duplex mode and Backpressure in half-duplex mode. This ensures smooth data transmission by preventing packet loss and reducing congestion. The unblocked switching architecture enables the switch to forward and filter packets at full cable speed, maximizing throughput and enhancing overall network performance.
With the Auto MDI/MDIX function, you no longer need to worry about using crossover cables. The switch automatically adjusts the polarity of the Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect devices directly using standard Ethernet cables. This feature simplifies the installation process and saves you time.
The TL-SF1008D supports automatic MAC address learning and Auto-aging. It can learn the MAC addresses of connected devices and automatically update its MAC address table, ensuring efficient communication within the network. The Auto-aging feature removes inactive MAC addresses from the table, preventing it from becoming overloaded with outdated entries.
Another notable feature is the automatic port negotiation capability, which allows seamless integration between devices with different network speeds. The switch can automatically detect and adjust to the network speed of connected devices, whether they operate at 10, 100, or 1,000Mbps. This flexibility makes it compatible with a wide range of network hardware.
The TL-SF1008D is designed with a fanless architecture, ensuring quiet operation. Without the need for a fan, the switch operates silently, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as home offices or bedrooms. The compact table design further enhances its convenience, allowing you to place it on a desk or mount it on a wall.
Installation is a breeze with the plug and play design of the TL-SF1008D. Simply connect your devices to the switch using Ethernet cables, and it will automatically configure itself for optimal performance. There is no software installation or configuration required, making it suitable for users with little networking experience.
In terms of specifications, the TL-SF1008D adheres to IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3x standards and protocols. It features eight 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports with automatic negotiation and MDI/MDIX support. The switch has a buffer size of 2Mb, ensuring smooth data transmission and reducing the likelihood of packet loss.
The TL-SF1008D is powered by an external power adapter with an input range of 100-240VAC and a frequency of 50/60Hz. The output is 5VDC with a current rating of 0.6A. The switch also includes LED indicators for power and individual port status, allowing you to easily monitor the network connections.
TP-Link TL-SF1008D 8-port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch is a reliable and efficient networking solution for small-scale environments. Its energy-saving features, unblocked switching architecture, automatic port negotiation, and plug and play design make it a user-friendly choice for expanding your network. With its compact and fanless design, it operates quietly and can be conveniently placed in various locations.
