Deploying the TP-Link TL-SG108-M2 8-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Fanless Unmanaged Desktop Switch
Every port auto-negotiates between 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2.5 Gbps speeds. As a result, older hardware connects cleanly alongside modern multi-gigabit hardware. You can link high-throughput NAS units, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and workstation motherboards without manual configuration.
Silent Passive Cooling for Quiet Workspaces
The fanless metal chassis operates in total silence. Heat dissipates naturally through the robust casing, keeping internal components cool under load. Consequently, you can position the unit directly on your desk or mount it securely to an office wall.
High-Throughput Switching Capacity for Heavy Traffic
With a 40 Gbps switching capacity and a 1.5 MB packet buffer, the switch handles demanding data transfers simultaneously. Integrated Quality of Service (802.1p QoS) traffic prioritisation keeps real-time streams and gaming packets moving smoothly.
What Is Included
