Its very good at handling Internet traffic from my sky router. Very easy to set up. Plug and play. I find TP Products to be reliable and good value for money. I wish the power supply was situated in a different position. Connectivity is simple. Review: Simple, small, functional, what more do we need? - The metal cased TP-Link 8 port Gigabit TL-SG108 1000/100/10 switch works perfectly straight out of the box. No set-up is required. It auto-senses the cable connection and interfaces correctly to both T568A and T568B wiring of the cables, so there is no need for 'crossover' leads. The power supply is a small 9V plug-top unit that barely thinks about getting warm. Measured current from a 9V bench power supply was 85mA (765mW) with no ports connected, rising to 120mA (1080mW) all ports connected but no traffic, during a 7GByte 1000Mb/s backup between two long-wire ports the current peaked at roughly 230mA (~2W) but varied. Much, much better than the old 100/10 hub it replaces which always took about 350mA (~2.6W) at 7.5V 24/7 and also had an inefficient hot mains brick. The LED lights on the front edge, two adjacent to each of the eight sockets indicate activity in the normal way; solid for connected and flashing for data transfer, the green LED for 1000Mb/s and the yellow LED for 100/10Mb/s. There is also a separate green LED showing when the power is correct. I would have preferred the lights to be on the other side from all of the leads as with the version (9.0) of the TP-Link SF1005D (not shown on Az now) I bought in 2012, or on the top as with this version TP-Link SF1005D I bought in 2011, but I understand why it was done here. A couple of keyhole slots in the base of the metal box enable one to mount it on a pair of no6 countersink-head woodscrews to allow tidy routing of the cables. The four rubber feet help to prevent it from sliding off the screws. The 8 port box is 100mm x 160mm x 28mm. My house usually has no wi-fi; the CAT5E LAN is all hard-wired and this new switch living next to the big PC, a media server and the network printer, replaces a previous and out-of-date 100/10Mb/s generic unit from Maplin. The network is mixed traffic, mostly Gigabit, but still some old 100Mb/s Ethernet. The new switch handles it all at full duplex with no problems, and I have noticed a slight increase in the speed of the 100Mb/s transfers as well. I bought this after several months of positive experience with its little brother the TL-SG105 and the TD-W8970 router . As usual, I took the lid off to have a look inside (my work used to include designing high speed electronics) and it is nicely made with good quality components and proper attention to screening and track layout. Recommended. Addendum. Be aware that on this product page either Az or TP-Link has stupidly mixed up all the reviews for all the different varieties of TP Link switches, 24, 16, 8 and 5 port, Gigabit or not, metal and several versions of plastic cases, even for switches no longer available, and they have different performance and best uses. But cut to the chase, and simply go for the latest versions of the metal boxed Gigabit switches. ## Features - Ethernet Splitter 1 to 7 - A robust solution for splitting your internet connection into 7 Gigabit signals without the speed reduction comparing with traditional splitters - 8 Port Gigabit Switch - Enjoy the benefits of a fast and stable wired network with Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet Ports, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted connectivity with multiple devices - Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Switch - Easy to use with no configuration required, making it simple to set up and expand your network instantly - Eco-Friendly Silent Operation - Green Ethernet Hub features a fanless design for silent operation, making it perfect for noise-sensitive environments such as offices and homes - Energy-Efficient Performance - Automatically adjusts power consumption based on link status and cable length, ideal for expanding your network while minimizing your carbon footprint - Lifetime Tech Support – Limited Lifetime Warranty from manufacturer; 24-hour live chat customer service ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HP6ZLSM | | Best Sellers Rank | 325 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 5 in Network Switches | | Box Contents | 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Desktop Switch, Power Adapter, Installation Guide | | Brand | TP-Link | | Brand Name | TP-Link | | Case Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Color | black | | Colour | black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible devices | Desktop | | Country of Origin | China | | Current Rating | 0.6 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 47,098 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 15.8L x 10.1W x 2.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | 8 Ports Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Steel Case, Desktop/Wall-Mounting, Fanless Quiet Design | | Item Weight | 15.87 Ounces | | Manufacturer | TP-Link | | Manufacturer Part Number | TL-SG108S | | Model Number | TL-SG108S | | Number of Ports | 8 | | Number of ports | 8 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Product Warranty | Manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Product dimensions | 15.8L x 10.1W x 2.5H centimetres | | Switch Type | Gigabit Network Switch | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 40 Degrees Celsius | | Voltage | 5 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TP-Link - **Colour:** black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Included components:** 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Desktop Switch, Power Adapter, Installation Guide - **Number of ports:** 8 ## Images ![TP-Link TL-SG108S 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Metal Ethernet Switch | Power-Saving Ethernet Splitter, QoS & IGMP Snooping, Desktop & Wall-Mounting, Silent Operation, Plug & Play - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CySoEMvFL.jpg) ![TP-Link TL-SG108S 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Metal Ethernet Switch | Power-Saving Ethernet Splitter, QoS & IGMP Snooping, Desktop & Wall-Mounting, Silent Operation, Plug & Play - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615HNXwb1-L.jpg) ![TP-Link TL-SG108S 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Metal Ethernet Switch | Power-Saving Ethernet Splitter, QoS & IGMP Snooping, Desktop & Wall-Mounting, Silent Operation, Plug & Play - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KeIPT+4pL.jpg) ![TP-Link TL-SG108S 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Metal Ethernet Switch | Power-Saving Ethernet Splitter, QoS & IGMP Snooping, Desktop & Wall-Mounting, Silent Operation, Plug & Play - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HDXkep6gL.jpg) ![TP-Link TL-SG108S 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Metal Ethernet Switch | Power-Saving Ethernet Splitter, QoS & IGMP Snooping, Desktop & Wall-Mounting, Silent Operation, Plug & Play - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FcGidrOHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I do not wish to use wifi in my house, could i run an ethernet cable from my virgin hub to this switch and then feed my desktop and my sons ps4's?** A: Ethernet is always the best way to connect devices to your router whether it's Sky, Virgin or whoever. I've run outdoor rated cables around the house on the outside up to our bedroom and our sons. I connected one to the virgin 360 box in our room for a direct connection and the other to the switch in his room then ran patch cables to his laptop and xbox. Wifi in general is rubbish so anything you can do to avoid it is worthwhile. **Q: Will using this give me higher ping and slower speeds for gaming than my current hardwire direct to router?** A: No, if you’re plugged directly into your router that is the fastest possible connection. Just make sure you are running a good Cat5 cable. **Q: Can this be powered with a usb to dc jack cable? saving a wall socket.** A: A standard USB can only supply 500mA the Ethernet Switch requires 600mA so not possible unless a higher output USB port is available. **Q: what is the difference between the premium and the advance model?** A: Looks like the Premium is shielded and the advanced is unshielded (plastic port surrounds). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality. *by A***Y on 28 June 2026* I have an xbox, Nintendo, a tab, all connected to this TP-link.
