tp-link TL-SG105 Specification

The TP-Link TL-SG105 is a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to expand network capacity and enhance data transmission efficiency. It offers five 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, enabling seamless data transfer for both small offices and home networks. This unmanaged switch supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, simplifying network setup by eliminating the need for complex configurations or crossover cables. The device features a compact metal housing, ensuring durability and efficient heat dissipation, making it suitable for desktop installation.

The TL-SG105 is engineered to deliver reliable performance with a non-blocking switching architecture, which forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. Its IEEE 802.3x flow control provides reliable data transfer, while the integrated QoS (Quality of Service) enhances traffic prioritization, ensuring smooth data flow for latency-sensitive applications like video streaming and online gaming. The switch operates with a fanless design, promoting silent operation ideal for noise-sensitive environments.

Energy efficiency is a key consideration in the TL-SG105, incorporating Green Ethernet technology to minimize power consumption. It automatically adjusts power usage based on link status and cable length, reducing energy expenditure without sacrificing performance. This eco-friendly design aligns with the IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet standard. The device supports Plug and Play installation, requiring no complex software or configuration, making it accessible for users with minimal technical expertise. With its robust performance and energy-efficient design, the TP-Link TL-SG105 is well-suited for users seeking a reliable and straightforward network expansion solution.
