The TL-SG1008 8 Port Gigabit Switch from TP-Link comes in an energy efficient configuration allowing you to save up to 60% over traditional network switches. With a variety of IEEE standards, this switch can be easily configured to meet a variety of needs. 802.3 compatibility is a general collection of IEEE standards used within a local area network when connecting hubs, switches, and routers. IEEE 802.3u, otherwise known as Fast Ethernet, is a standard that carries traffic at the normal rate of 100Mbps against the original Ethernet speed of 10Mbps. The IEEE 802.3x standard refers to a flow control standard allowing you to control traffic throughout the switch.
With 8 x 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Ports you can connect a number of devices to the Gigabit Switch to allow for multiple devices to connect to the Internet. The 16Gbps switching capacity provides for ultra fast data transfer speeds along with the 8K MAC address table giving you the necessary space to store a large number of MAC addresses. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables allowing for a seamless connection. Once configured, the integrated LEDs show the power status, signal strength, and link activity.
