TP-Link TL-SF1008D 8-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch
The TP-Link TL-SF1008D is a fanless 8-port Fast Ethernet switch designed for small offices, home offices, and workgroups that need simple plug-and-play network expansion. It automatically negotiates connection speed and cable orientation, requires no configuration, and uses energy-efficient technology to minimize power draw.
Why this product
Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates cable worries
All ports automatically detect and adapt to straight or crossover cables. Plug in any cable type without needing special uplink ports or manual configuration.
Fanless and energy-efficient
No moving parts means silent operation and minimal power consumption at just 2W maximum. Green Ethernet technology reduces energy use without sacrificing performance.
Full wire-speed performance
Non-blocking switching architecture delivers 1.6 Gbps total throughput with IEEE 802.3x flow control to prevent packet loss and congestion.
Compact desktop design
Measures just 5.3 × 3.1 inches and weighs almost nothing. Fits easily under desks, on shelves, or in tight networking closets.

- Power consumption2W max
- Physical size5.3 × 3.1 × 0.9 in.
- FeaturesAuto MDI/MDIX, fanless, flow control
- PowerExternal 9VDC adapter
- SKUTPL-1315
- EAN3935364020071
- Works with any 10/100Mbps Ethernet device: PCs, laptops, printers, NAS drives, managed switches, and older networking gear.
- Requires external power adapter. Does not draw power from connected devices or upstream equipment; you must have an outlet nearby.
- Not for Gigabit networks. Ports max out at 100 Mbps; connecting to modern Gigabit switches or equipment will bottleneck at Fast Ethernet speeds.
- No Power over Ethernet (PoE). Cannot power devices like access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones over the network cable.
Best for
- Small offices and home offices expanding beyond a router's built-in ports
- Workgroups sharing printers, network storage, or other office resources
- Budget-conscious buyers who need simple, zero-configuration networking
- Silent, always-on deployments where fanless operation and minimal heat are priorities
Trade-offs
- Gigabit networks. 100 Mbps ports are now a decade old; newer devices and file-heavy workloads will feel noticeably slower.
- PoE-powered devices. No power delivery over Ethernet; smart cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones need separate power.
- Advanced networking. No management interface, VLAN support, or monitoring. Purely plug-and-play for basic traffic forwarding.
- Rack or cabinet mounting. Desktop-only form factor with no mounting brackets or standard rack compatibility.
TL-SF1008D Fast Ethernet Switch provides 8 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports. All ports support Auto MDI/MDIX function, eliminating the need for crossover cables or Uplink ports.
The TL-SF1008D Fast Ethernet Switch is designed for SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) or workgroup users. All 8 ports support auto MDI/MDIX, no need to worry about the cable type, simply plug and play. Moreover, with the innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SF1008D can save power consumption, making it an eco-friendly solution for your business network.
TL-SF1008D Fast Ethernet Switch provides 8 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports. All ports support Auto MDI/MDIX function, eliminating the need for crossover cables or Uplink ports. Featuring non-blocking switching architecture, TL-SF1008D forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. With 2K Jumbo frame, the performance of large files transfers is improved significantly. And IEEE 802.3x flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for Half Duplex mode alleviate the traffic congestion and make TL-SF1008D work reliably.
