WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES The TP-Link 5-Port 10/100Mbps desktop switch TL-SG1005D provides you an easy way to make the transition to 10/100Mbps Ethernet. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make 10/100Mbps to the desktop a reality. Moreover, TL-SG1005D adopts lower power consumption design. With the innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG1005D can save up to 80%* of the power consumption, making it an eco-friendly solution for your home or office network. GO GREEN WITH YOUR ETHERNET You now have the choice to go green when upgrading to a 10/100Mbps network! This new generation TL-SG1005D 5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status and cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network. Power down Idle Ports When a computer or network equipment is off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch will continue to consume considerable amounts of power. The TL-SG1005D can automatically detect the link status of each port and reduce the power consumption of ports that are idle, resulting in up to an 70% reduction in power use. Power Budget According to Cable Length Ideally, shorter cables would use less power because of less power degradation over their length, this is not the case with most devices as they will use the same amount of power across the cable regardless of whether it is 10 or 50 meters in length. The TL-SG1005D analyzes the length of the Ethernet cable connected and adjusts the power usage accordingly, rather than keeping the power consumption in a conventional solution, saving up to 40% of power that would otherwise be wasted. Easy to Use The auto features of this 10/100Mbps switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminate the need for crossover cables. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. * Maximum power savings when compared to a TP-LINK conventional switch, the real saving rate may vary based on the usage condition.
