TP-Link TL-SG1008D 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports; all are equivalent, with no dedicated uplink. This is the unmanaged TL-SG1008D, not the smart-managed TL-SG108E or PoE models.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: TL-SG1008D (verify hardware version on the bottom label). Match the complete model and hardware revision on the label before applying specifications.
Exact specifications and compatibility
| Cataloged model / revision | TL-SG1008D — TL-SG1008D (verify hardware version on the bottom label) |
|---|---|
| Dedicated subcategory | Unmanaged switches |
| Ports and line rates | 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45; nominal negotiated link rate up to 1 Gb/s per port. |
| Switching capacity | 16 Gbps manufacturer switching fabric; this is aggregate switching capacity, not a measured application-throughput result. |
| PoE | No PoE input or output is specified for this model. |
| Uplink and media | No dedicated uplink or optical cage; all ports are copper RJ-45 and any port may connect upstream. Use standards-compatible twisted-pair Ethernet cable. |
| Power | External 9 V DC / 0.6 A adapter; maximum power consumption 4.63 W per the manufacturer data sheet. |
| Form factor | Fanless plastic desktop enclosure; compact standalone unit. |
| Host compatibility | Works as a standalone Ethernet bridge with standard copper Ethernet clients and routers; no host driver or OS dependency. Check the precise hardware version and power-adapter label. |
| Compatibility caveat | Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports; all are equivalent, with no dedicated uplink. This is the unmanaged TL-SG1008D, not the smart-managed TL-SG108E or PoE models. Confirm regional SKU, revision, supported cable category and adapter rating; nominal link rates do not guarantee end-to-end throughput. |
| Management / drivers | Unmanaged Layer 2 switch; no switch configuration interface or host driver is required. Do not infer VLAN, routing, PoE, or managed-switch features. |
Model-specific notes
Eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports; all are equivalent, with no dedicated uplink. This is the unmanaged TL-SG1008D, not the smart-managed TL-SG108E or PoE models. Switching capacity is the manufacturer’s aggregate fabric figure; it is not a benchmark. The switch does not provide Internet access by itself and requires an upstream network/router for external connectivity.
