TP-Link LiteWave LS108G 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
The TP-Link LiteWave LS108G is an 8-port gigabit desktop switch designed for homes and small businesses that need to expand their wired network affordably. It connects computers, printers, webcams, and other networked devices without requiring configuration, and its metal casing and fanless design make it reliable and silent.
Why this product
8 gigabit ports, 16 Gbps switching capacity
All 8 ports support full 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. Total switching capacity reaches 16 Gbps, enough to handle multiple simultaneous connections without bottlenecks.
Metal casing, fanless and silent
The durable metal housing protects internal components and has passed stringent reliability tests. No fan means no noise—ideal for desks and quiet environments.
Plug and play, no setup required
Simply connect cables and power; the switch works immediately. No software installation, configuration, or management needed.
Energy-efficient operation
Power consumption automatically adjusts based on link status and cable length, reducing electricity use and operating costs.
Desktop or wall-mounted deployment
Compact 158 × 99.1 × 25 mm form factor fits on workbenches or can be wall-mounted, making it flexible for any space.
- Ports8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45
- Switching capacity16 Gbps
- Power consumption3.7 W maximum
- Dimensions158 × 99.1 × 25 mm
- HousingMetal casing, fanless
- Power supplyExternal 9V/0.6A adapter
- SKUTPL-1189
- EAN6935364085490
- Works with any standard Ethernet device: computers, printers, webcams, IP cameras, IPTV boxes, and other 10/100/1000 Mbps networked equipment.
- Supports IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3x standards, ensuring compatibility with modern and legacy Ethernet installations.
- Requires external 9V/0.6A power adapter supplied with the unit; does not draw power from Ethernet cables.
- No Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability; connected devices must have their own power sources.
Best for
- Home networks expanding beyond a router's built-in ports
- Small office and business setups connecting printers, cameras, and workstations
- School dormitories and surveillance systems requiring silent, low-power operation
- Users prioritising simplicity—no configuration, VLAN setup, or management interface needed
Trade-offs
- Applications requiring Power over Ethernet; this switch has no PoE support.
- High-density enterprise deployments; 8 ports is modest compared to managed switches with 24+ ports.
- Scenarios requiring advanced features such as VLAN segmentation or Quality of Service (QoS) configuration; this is an unmanaged switch.
