TP-Link TL-SG105 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch
The TP-Link TL-SG105 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch is designed for users who need to expand their wired network and transfer large files quickly without network congestion. It offers plug-and-play setup with no configuration required, making it suitable for small offices, home labs, and desktop environments where instant gigabit connectivity is needed across multiple devices.
Why this product
5 Gigabit ports, no setup needed
All five ports support full 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation with Auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can plug in any device and it works immediately without configuration.
Non-blocking switching at gigabit speeds
The 7.4 Mpps forwarding rate and non-blocking architecture mean multiple devices can transfer large files simultaneously without bandwidth contention.
Durable metal casing with fanless design
The metal housing protects internal components and the fanless operation means silent, zero-maintenance operation with no moving parts to fail.
Desktop or wall-mount flexibility
Compact 100×98×25 mm footprint works as a desktop unit or can be wall-mounted to suit your installation space.
Low power consumption
Green Ethernet technology and a maximum draw of just 3.0 W keeps energy costs minimal.

- Works with any device that has a standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port: computers, NAS drives, servers, printers, and networked equipment.
- Supports IEEE 802.3i/u/ab/x standards, making it compatible with legacy Fast Ethernet devices that will negotiate down to 100 Mbps.
- Includes QoS (Quality of Service) and IGMP Snooping, but these are basic functions on an unmanaged switch; you cannot configure priority rules per port.
- Does not provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) — all connected devices must have their own power source.
- Unmanaged design means no web interface or advanced monitoring; it cannot be configured or managed remotely.
Best for
- Small offices needing to connect 5+ devices to a wired network without IT overhead
- Home labs and enthusiasts building servers or NAS setups that require gigabit interconnects
- Desk-side expansion when your router's built-in ports are already in use
- Environments where silent operation is important, since it has no fan
Trade-offs
- Enterprise networks needing advanced features. This is an unmanaged switch; it has no VLAN support, no bandwidth limiting per port, and no remote management capability.
- Applications requiring more than 5 ports. The switch maxes out at 5 Gigabit connections.
- Devices that need powered connections. It does not support Power over Ethernet, so cameras, wireless APs, and VoIP phones must be powered separately.
- Users who want monitoring or traffic control. Unmanaged switches offer no per-port statistics, no QoS configuration, and no loop detection beyond basic BPDU handling.
Increase the speed of your network with the TL-SG105 5-port Gigabit desktop switch. 5 non-blocking 10/100/1000 Mbps ports enable instant transferring of large, bandwidth intensive files without interference.
Interior components of TL-SG105 are protected by high-quality metal casing to ensure a product longevity. Having passed an array of stringent reliability tests, TL-SG105 delivers switching performance you can depend on.
