Technical Overview

The TL-LS108G is a Layer 2 unmanaged switch that is built for reliability and stability. It applies store-and-forward switching to provide error-free packets, and includes 802.3X flow control to prevent data loss due to congestion. With Auto-MDIX/MDI as its foundation, you won’t need crossover cables. The 4K MAC address table and 16KB jumbo frame buffer create room to expand small local networks, and QoS (802.1p/DSCP) support keeps sensitive traffic uninterrupted.

Fanless steel casing ensures quiet and dependable operation—ideal for wall-mount or desktop mounting in limited spaces. And by adhering strictly to Green Ethernet standards, the switch keeps energy consumption at just ~3.7 W loaded.
