SWITCH TP-LINK TL-SF1008D - Blanc

TP‑LINK TL‑SF1008D – The Unmanaged 10/100 Desktop Switch

The TL‑SF1008D is a compact, fanless Ethernet switch designed for small office or home‑office environments. With eight RJ‑45 ports that support Fast Ethernet (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps), it delivers reliable connectivity without the complexity of managed switches.

Key Design Features

• 8×RJ‑45 Ports: All ports are standard Fast Ethernet (10/100), enabling straightforward plug‑and‑play connections for computers, printers, and other network devices.
• Auto MDI/MDIX: The switch automatically detects cable type, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
• Full Duplex & Half Duplex Support: Each port can operate in full or half duplex mode, providing flexibility for various network topologies.
• Fanless Architecture: No internal fan means silent operation and reduced power consumption (maximum 2.2 W).
• Compact Footprint: Dimensions of 134.5 mm × 87.4 mm × 22.5 mm make it ideal for desk or wall mounting.
• LED Indicators: Each port has a dedicated LED that shows power and activity status, aiding quick troubleshooting.

Performance & Capacity

The switch’s internal switching capacity is rated at 1.6 Gbps, ensuring smooth traffic handling even when all eight ports are active simultaneously. A 2‑MB packet buffer allows efficient store‑and‑forward processing, reducing latency for bursty traffic.

Power and Energy Efficiency

• External Power Supply: 5 V/0.6 A DC input via a standard jack.
• Low Consumption: Typical power draw is 1.86 W, with a maximum of 2.2 W. This makes it suitable for energy‑conscious deployments.
• Energy Star Certified: Meets ENERGY STAR requirements, contributing to overall green IT initiatives.

Connectivity and Compatibility

The TL‑SF1008D is fully compatible with any device that supports standard Ethernet over RJ‑45. It works seamlessly with:

• Desktop computers (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• Network printers (e.g., HP LaserJet series)
• NAS devices and small servers
• IoT gateways and smart home hubs that use wired Ethernet

No PoE support is provided; the switch relies on external power only.

Installation & Setup

1. Mounting: The device can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall using the included mounting kit. It requires no additional cabling beyond standard Ethernet cables.
2. Power Connection: Connect the supplied DC adapter to the power jack and plug into an outlet (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz).
3. Network Configuration: Simply plug your devices into any of the eight ports. The switch automatically negotiates speed and duplex settings.
4. LED Status: Observe the port LEDs for activity; a steady light indicates active traffic, while flashing denotes data transmission.

Operating Environment

The TL‑SF1008D operates reliably within:

• Temperature Range: 0 °C to +40 °C (operational), with storage tolerance from –40 °C to +70 °C.
• Humidity: 10%–90% relative humidity during operation; 5%–95% for storage.

Compliance and Certifications

The switch complies with international safety and environmental standards:

• FCC, CE, RoHS: Ensures electromagnetic compatibility and hazardous substance compliance.
• ENERGY STAR: Demonstrates low power consumption and efficient operation.
