Tp-link tl-sg105 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Product Description

The TP-LINK tl-sg105 is a 5-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small office, home office, and workgroup network environments. It provides five 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating ports that allow connected devices to communicate at full Gigabit speeds. The switch operates plug-and-play with no configuration required, making it a straightforward drop-in addition to an existing network. Green Ethernet technology automatically powers down ports that detect no active link and adjusts power output based on cable length, reducing energy draw during low-traffic periods.

This switch is suited for residential and light commercial network installations where a cost-effective Gigabit upgrade is needed. Typical use cases include connecting workstations, NAS devices, IP cameras, or VoIP equipment to a local network. It is commonly installed by IT technicians, low-voltage contractors, or knowledgeable end users in home offices, small workgroups, and creative production environments that routinely transfer large files such as CAD, graphics, or multimedia content.

Key Features

• 5 auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Plug-and-play operation with no software or configuration required
• Green Ethernet technology powers down inactive ports automatically
• Dynamic power adjustment based on detected cable length
• Fanless, compact desktop form factor for quiet operation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard IEEE 802.3 compliant unmanaged Gigabit switch compatible with any 10/100/1000 Mbps network device using standard RJ45 Ethernet connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is handled by low-voltage technicians or qualified IT personnel. Connect the switch to a power source and patch in Ethernet cables to each active port — no driver installation or configuration utility is needed. Ensure the power adapter is disconnected before servicing any internal connections. Follow applicable local low-voltage wiring codes when running structured cabling to the switch.
