TL-SX105 | 5 Port 10G/Multi-Gig Unmanaged Ethernet Switch | Desktop/Wall-Mount | Plug & Play | Fanless | Sturdy Metal Casing | Speed Auto-Negotiation, Free Expert Help

This is a 10G multi gig switch. Works well, plug and play. There weren’t too many brand name choices in the size for number of ports. It is great for small office setup.

Plug and play at 10gb/s. Runs a bit warm so don't hide it under a stack of books.

I have used this switch for the past year, works great. After about a year, 3 of the ports stopped working, but TP-Link's support was excellent and working with them I have a replacement coming. Thanks XANDREX at TP-Link

Solid and works well. Instructions and labels could be better. Does run hot if sat on a desk.

Fanless? Awesome. The issue is that under heavy sustained load, it overheats and stops passing traffic. Requires a power-off cool down period of 30 minutes to start working again. It sits in a room that is never over 72 degrees F. I have it sitting on a metal vented rack shelf, and still had to get a fan to point directly at it so it won't overheat. It's a good price, but at the cost of reliability if you have heavy traffic on your network.

You're definitely paying the 10G premium here, but fanless for a desk setup is totally worth it. It's a bit chunky and industrial looking, but full 10G across all 5 ports is really nice.

Updated 11/21/2022 Original review Purchased 02/14/2022 failed 11/04/2022 Clearly inferior product. Also already RMA'd an 8 port 2.5g hub 4 months ago purchased about the same time. There is a design flaw or have defective electronic components inside. Added 11/21/2022 So TP-Link will not honor warranty on products purchased from non authorized distributors/resellers. Mine came from TELeasy, so I'm out of luck. BUYER BEWARE! Be sure to check WHERE your product is sourced. Check TP-Link website for authorized distributors/resellers. None of the vendors I've seen here are on the lists, except Amazon.com Services LLC. I purchased 6 TP-Link switches, various models, all 2.5g or higher. 3 from Amazon, 3 from "other" vendors. Lesson learned. This likely applies to a large portion of products sold on Amazon from secondary vendors. Also, to the reviewers saying mounting these (fanless) on their sides with vents on top/bottom and the rubber feet for space. This will help with heat dissipation, but probably not enough. See pic. I added these fans AFTER first failure of 8 port 2.5g unit, for the 5 port 10g unit. 10g unit still failed. Was it a heat related failure? Can't say for sure, but both failed overnight. Woke up to no internet on both. Like I said in first review, I believe these units fail due to inferior internal components. These switches are plugged into the same outlet as my ASUS AX6000 WiFi 6 Gaming Router (RT-AX89X), My Motorola cable modem and Synergy NAS's. All working perfectly fine. Also have never had ANY network switches completely fail in 20 years of home networking. Always used Dlink and Netgear. Yes, I was beating the odds. Given the failure rate just from reviews here on Amazon, these TP-Link units are NOT worth the price.

Working well. I used this to run 10g cable through my house to multiple floors. No problems so far.

Product itself is simple, sturdy, and does what it says. Unlike some other switches I have seen it has clear indicators (lights) showing link activity and all speeds. The case is sturdy and fanless; latter is unusual for a 10Gbps switch. BUT: no rubber feet (easy to fix, but odd for a “desktop” switch); no grounding point.

Fantastic switch, getting a full 10 gig on all ports. Arrived within time. Gets warm to the touch after a few minutes, but put a old hard drive on it which acts as a heat sink. So running cool now. But, mains power adaptor is a US plug. So had to buy a UK converter to get it to work.

Who are getting the switch I was not getting my full internet speed that I have. I had a 10 gigabit network card but what I was paying for for internet speed I was getting below what I was supposed to get. But after getting this 10 gigabit switch which paired great with my 10 gigabit network card I was getting my full speed for my internet. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Highly recommend it. If you have internet speeds that are one and a half gig then this is your switch.

This was supplied with a US plug but I’m in the UK so had to purchase a separate transformer. The product is excellent and easy to set up apart from this.

A Plug and play 10x upgrade. Solidly built. Great for my home lab.
