Product features
The 8-port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch TL-SG108E from TP-LINK offers an easy way to make the transition to managed switches. Data traffic can be conveniently monitored thanks to port mirroring, loop detection and cable diagnostics, while port/tag-based QoS is available to the administrator to optimize data transmission. Furthermore, port/tag/MTU-based VLAN provides security gains by segmenting the network.
Innovative Green IT also reduces the energy consumption of the TL-SG108E by up to 80%*. This environmentally friendly solution for your home and office network not only saves energy, but also costs.
TP-LINK's TL-SG108E offers you various options for network monitoring. Using port mirroring, loopback detection and cable diagnostics, you can detect and even localize connection problems in your network. You can also prioritize traffic based on port priority and 802.1p priority to ensure that VoIP and video streaming always run smoothly and without delay.
To further improve security and performance, the TL-SG108E supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN and 802.1q-based VLAN. With its basic management functions, the Easy Smart Switch is therefore one level above the unmanaged switches and offers great added value at a similar price.
Switch your network to green
The TL-SG108E 8-port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch features the latest innovative, energy-efficient technology that can significantly expand your network capacity while consuming less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to link status and cable length to improve the eco-balance of your network.
Switch off inactive ports
When a computer or network device is turned off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch continues to consume a significant amount of power. The TL-SG108E automatically detects the link status of each port and reduces the power consumption of idle ports.
Energy allocation according to cable length
Ideally, shorter cables consume less power as less energy is lost over short distances. However, most conventional devices transmit at maximum power for any length of cable. TP-LINK's Green IT recognizes the length of the connected Ethernet cable and adjusts the transmission power accordingly instead of keeping the power consumption at the level of the conventional solution.
Easy to use
The TL-SG108E is characterized by easy setup and handling. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables. Auto-tuning on each port detects the connection speed of a network device (10, 100 or 1000Mbps) and intelligently adjusts to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
