8. TP-Link TL-SG105
Easy Handling
This switch requires no configuration. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables. An auto-negotiation feature on each port detects the connection speed of a network device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Gigabit Switch
This allows power users at home, in the office, in a workgroup, or in a creative production environment to transfer large, bandwidth-intensive files more quickly. Send documents, programs, or multimedia files without delay over the network at speeds up to 2000 Mbps in full-duplex mode.
Traffic Optimization
QoS (Quality of Service) enables smooth and latency-free traffic for voice and video. IGMP snooping optimizes the multicast data stream, especially for applications like IPTV, ensuring a better networking experience.
What our customers think
Pro
- small, good
- Plugged in and working
- Reliable, trouble-free operation so far

Make Gigabit LAN a reality at your workplace or increase the speed of your network servers and backbone connections. The TL-SG105 is also designed for low power consumption. The energy-efficient technology of the switch saves up to 65% energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution for your home and office network. Go green. The TL-SG105 features energy-efficient technology that automatically adjusts power consumption based on link status and cable length. When a computer is turned off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch continues to consume the same amount of power. The TL-SG105 detects the link status of each port and reduces power consumption for ports that are idle. Combined with energy allocation based on cable length, this results in energy savings of up to 65%.
