Energy-Efficient “Green” Ethernet
This new generation 5-port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch incorporates energy-efficient technologies to expand your network capacity with significantly less power consumption.
-
Power Saving up to 75%
Innovative energy-efficient design allows the TL-SG105E to reduce power usage by up to 75%, offering an eco-friendly solution for your business network. -
Power Down Idle Ports
The switch automatically detects the link status of each port and reduces power consumption on ports that are idle, unlike traditional switches that keep drawing power even when connected devices are off. -
Power Budget by Cable Length
The TL-SG105E analyzes the length of each connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage accordingly, instead of using the same power level for both short and long cables.
Easy Installation & Use
The TL-SG105E is designed for straightforward deployment and operation:
-
Auto MDI/MDI-X on All Ports
Eliminates the need for crossover cables or dedicated uplink ports. -
Auto-Negotiation
Each port automatically detects the link speed of the connected device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and adjusts for optimal performance and compatibility. -
Flexible Placement
- Compact size, suitable for desktops with limited space
-
Rack-mountable design for convenient, safe installation
-
Real-Time Status Indicators
Dynamic LED lights provide an at-a-glance view of operating status and support basic fault diagnosis.
Product Overview
The TP-LINK TL-SG105E combines the simplicity of a plug-and-play unmanaged switch with added monitoring, QoS, and VLAN features. It delivers strong value for small and medium business networks seeking better control, efficiency, and performance without complex configuration.
