The TP-LINK TL-SG108E 8-port gigabit Easy Smart Switch is an excellent choice if the goal is to properly expand the network infrastructure. This 8-port device, which provides gigabit speeds, allows all users to smoothly transfer data at high speeds, such as HD videos or large files.

Operation
The TL-SG108E 8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch is an ideal upgrade from an unmanaged switch for small and medium businesses when the network already requires some simple network management. Network administrators can effectively monitor traffic through port mirroring, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics. To optimize your business traffic, the TL-SG108E provides port priority/802.1p/DSCP QoS to keep speed-demanding traffic running smoothly and without interruptions. Additionally, port-based, tag-based, and MTU VLANs increase security and meet multiple network segmentation requirements. What's more, with the innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG108E can save up to 58% energy, which is an environmentally friendly solution for the enterprise network.

Efficient control
TP-LINK Gigabit Easy Smart Switch TL-SG108E provides network monitoring for users to monitor data traffic. With port mirroring, loop protection and cable diagnostics, the TL-SG108E can identify and even localize connection problems on the network. What's more, administrators can assign traffic priority based on port priority and Port/802.1p/DSCP priority, so that audio and video are always clear, smooth and stutter-free. Furthermore, to improve security and network performance, the TL-SG108E supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN and 802.1Q-based VLAN functions. The TL-SG108E is the development of a plug & play, unmanaged switch, carrying great value while making your network more powerful and providing equally great value to the end user.

Go Green with Ethernet
This new generation TL-SG108E 16-port gigabit easy smart switch is characterized by the latest energy-efficient technologies, which can greatly increase your network capacity with less energy consumption. It automatically adjusts the current consumption according to the connection status and cable length based on the value of the carbon footprint on the given network.

Disable idle ports
When a computer or network equipment is turned off, the associated port still consumes a significant amount of power for a traditional switch. The TL-SG108E automatically detects the status of each connected port and reduces power consumption towards idle ports.

Energy savings depending on the length of the cable
Ideally, shorter cables use less energy because less energy is lost due to their length; this is not the case with most devices, as the cable uses the same amount of energy regardless of its length. The TL-SG108E analyzes the length of the connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage accordingly, instead of managing power consumption in the traditional way.

Ease of use
The TL-SG108E is easy to use and control. No need to configure, existing Auto-MDI/MDI-X cable detection eliminates the need for reverse cable and uplink port. Auto-negotiation detects the connection speed on each port (up to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts compatibility and optimal performance. Thanks to its compact size, it is ideal for desktop placement, but it can also be mounted in a rack, making it convenient and safe. Its dynamic LED lights provide information on real-time operating status and basic troubleshooting results.

Main features:
• 8 10/100/01000 Mbps RJ45 connectors
• Provides network monitoring, traffic ranking and VLAN functions
• Up to 58% power consumption savings can be achieved with innovative energy consumption technology
