The TL-SG105E 5-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch from TP-Link is an upgrade from an unmanaged switch, designed for small and medium business networks that require simple network management. Five 10/100/1000 Mb/s ports provide instant large file transfers. IEEE 802.3x flow control provides reliable data transfers. Network administrators can effectively monitor traffic via Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention, and Cable Diagnostics features. To optimize traffic on your business network, the switch offers both port- and tag-based QoS to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving smoothly and jitter-free. Furthermore, port-based, tag-based, and MTU VLAN can improve security and meet more network segmentation requirements. Moreover, with its energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG105E can save up to 75% of power consumption, making it an eco-friendly solution for your business network.

This switch offers network monitoring for you to observe traffic behavior. With Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention, and Cable Diagnostics features, TL-SG105E can identify and even locate connection problems on your business network. Moreover, administrators can designate the priority of the traffic based on Port Priority and 802.1P Priority, to ensure that voice and video are always clear, smooth and lag-free. Additionally, to improve security and network performance, the switch supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN and 802.1Q-based VLAN functions. The switch is an upgrade from the plug-and-play Unmanaged Switch, delivering optimal value while empowering your network and similarly delivering great value to the end user.

This Smart Switch features an energy-efficient technology that can expand your network's capacity with much less power. This energy-efficient technology reduces power consumption by up to 75%. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status and cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network.

When a computer or network equipment is off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch will continue to consume considerable amounts of power. This switch can automatically detect the link status of each port and reduce the power consumption of ports that are idle.

Ideally, shorter cables would use less power with less power degradation over their length; this is not the case with most devices as they will use the same amount of power across the cable regardless of whether it is 10 or 50m in length. The TL-SG105E analyzes the length of the Ethernet cable connected and adjusts the power usage accordingly, rather than keeping the power consumption in a conventional solution.

This Smart Switch is easy to use and manage. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s) and adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. Its compact size makes it suitable for desktops with limited space while also being rack-mountable, convenient and safe. Dynamic LED lights provide real-time work status display and basic fault diagnosis.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How is this mountable on a 19" rack when it is only 11" side?

A: The TL-SG1024S comes with brackets that allow it to be mounted in a standard network rack. Regards, TP-Link Support

Q: 2. Can this switch hand out DHCP?

A: Since the TP-Link TL-SG1005P 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch is a managed switch, you are able to hand out DHCP.

Q: 3. Specifications say 23.8Mbps, this seems very slow for a Gigabit switch! Is this a misprint?

A: I always have issues converting bauds to bytes... so in real world, this switch let me transfer files at 103-105 Megabytes per second, almost twice of my previos switches (those small 3Com 8 100/1000mbps ports). I will buy it again if I have to.

Q: 4. Is the TP-Link TL-SG1024DE 24-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch a POE switch?

A: Unfortunately no. It would be a challenge to find a 24 port POE switch at this price point. If your need is only a few ports, you could supplement this with a small switch that provides a few POE ports (i.e. 8 port switch with 4 POE ports), or utilize POE injectors.

Q: 5. What is in the box ??

A: TP-Link TL-SG1016DE 16-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch box has Power Cord, Resource CD, Rubber Feet, Rackmount Kit, Limited 5-Year Warranty.

Q: 6. Can this switch be adopted/managed in Omada?
