Go green with your Ethernet.
Now you have the option to go green when upgrading to a gigabit network! The new TL-SG1008D 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch features innovative power-saving technology that can dramatically expand your network capacity while using much less power. Automatically adjusts power consumption based on link status and cable length to limit your network's carbon footprint.
Close unused ports.
When the computer or network device is turned off, the corresponding ports of traditional switches still consume large amounts of power. TL-SG1008D can automatically detect the link status of each port and reduce the power consumption of unused ports.
Power budget based on cable length
Ideally, shorter cables use less power because of less power degradation with length. This is not the case with most devices. This is because power is applied the same across the entire cable regardless of length.
Easy to use
The automatic feature of this gigabit switch makes installation plug-and-play and hassle-free. No need to configure Auto MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables. Auto-negotiation on each port detects the link speed of network devices (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for maximum compatibility and performance.
* Maximum energy savings compared to conventional TP-LINK switches. Actual savings rates may vary according to usage conditions.
