- Description
Product Overview
The TP-Link TL-SG108E is an 8-port Gigabit switch that works straight out of the box with zero setup, but also gives you the option to unlock extra control when you need it. TP-Link calls this an "Easy Smart" switch — it is a step up from a fully unmanaged switch, offering an optional web-based interface and a downloadable configuration utility for VLANs, QoS, port mirroring, link aggregation, IGMP snooping, loop prevention, and cable diagnostics.
Housed in a durable metal case rather than plastic, it suits desktop placement or wall-mounting and runs fanless. Green technology automatically reduces power draw on shorter cable runs and idle ports. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.
Key Capabilities
8 Gigabit Ports
8 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX.
Plug & Play, Optional Configuration
Works immediately with zero setup, or configure it via web GUI or TP-Link's Easy Smart utility if you want more control.
VLANs, QoS & Port Mirroring
Up to 32 VLANs, port-based/802.1p/DSCP QoS with 4 priority queues, and port mirroring for network troubleshooting.
Metal Case, Fanless
Durable metal casing rather than plastic, silent fanless operation, desktop or wall-mount.
Best For
Small Business Networks
A practical step up from a basic unmanaged switch when you want VLAN separation or QoS.
Network Troubleshooting
Port mirroring and cable diagnostics help installers and IT staff diagnose issues.
Traffic-Sensitive Setups
QoS and rate limiting help prioritise sensitive traffic like VoIP or camera feeds.
Why Choose This Switch
Sometimes a fully unmanaged switch isn't quite enough, but a full enterprise-managed switch is more than you need. The TL-SG108E sits in between — plug-and-play out of the box, with VLANs, QoS, and diagnostic tools available whenever you want them, in a durable metal case built to last. Backed by TP-Link's long track record in networking. Available from Total Security Equipment.

FAQs
1. Is this an unmanaged switch?
Not exactly — TP-Link classes the TL-SG108E as an "Easy Smart" switch. It works immediately with zero setup like an unmanaged switch, but it also has an optional web interface and utility for VLANs, QoS, port mirroring, and other features a basic unmanaged switch doesn't offer.
2. Do I have to configure it?
No — it works straight out of the box with no configuration required. The web interface and configuration utility are there if and when you want to use the extra features.
3. Does this switch supply PoE power to cameras?
No — this is a standard non-PoE switch. Ask our team about our PoE switch options if you need to power cameras directly from the switch.
4. Can this be wall-mounted?
Yes — its durable metal case is designed for either desktop placement or wall-mounted installation.
5. Where can I buy this switch in Australia?
It's available directly from Total Security Equipment.
