TP-LINK - TL-SX1008 - 8-Port 10G Desktop/Rackmount Switch

TL-SX1008 — 8-Port 10G Desktop/Rackmount Switch

The TP-Link TL-SX1008 is an 8-port unmanaged switch with 8× 10 Gbps (100 Mbps/1/2.5/5/10 Gbps) RJ45 ports, in a desktop/rack-mountable case with 1 fan. It is plug and play, so it works out of the box with no configuration.

What the TL-SX1008 is for

The TL-SX1008 is an unmanaged multi-gigabit network switch: every port negotiates up to 10 Gbps, which suits NAS drives, servers, workstations and Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 access points or routers with multi-gig ports. TP-Link's page heading for it reads "Same Cables, New Speed".

It gives no PoE, so access points and cameras need their own power or a PoE injector. Browse our wider data networking range for routers and access points.

Full specification

What you will need

You need network cable for each device and a mains socket for the switch. It gives no PoE, so powered devices need a separate supply. To get 10G speeds the device at the other end needs a 10G-capable port.

Buying from Zenith Security Co.

We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the TL-SX1008 with you before you buy (the number of ports you need, the port speed against your devices and how any cameras or access points will be powered) and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.

Does the TL-SX1008 support PoE?

No. The TL-SX1008 is a non-PoE switch. Devices that need PoE must be powered separately, for example with a PoE injector, or you can choose a TP-Link PoE switch.

Is the TL-SX1008 managed?

No. It is an unmanaged plug and play switch, so it has no web interface and needs no configuration.

How fast are the ports on the TL-SX1008?

All 8 RJ45 ports are 10 Gbps (100 Mbps/1/2.5/5/10 Gbps). TP-Link list switching capacity of 160 Gbps.

Can the TL-SX1008 be rack mounted?

Yes. TP-Link include a rackmount kit in the box for a 19-inch cabinet, and rubber feet for desktop use.

Is the TL-SX1008 silent?

It has one fan with intelligent fan speed adjustment, so it is not silent. For a quiet room, choose a fanless model.
