TP-Link TL-SX1008 8-Port 10G Multi-Gig Unmanaged Switch
The TP-Link TL-SX1008 is an 8-port 10 Gigabit unmanaged switch for small offices, home networks, and content creators who need to connect multiple high-bandwidth devices — NAS arrays, workstations, WiFi 6 access points, and gaming systems — without bottlenecks. It handles up to 160 Gbps of switching capacity and auto-negotiates speeds from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, so older and newer devices work together on the same network.
Why this product
160 Gbps switching capacity
Eight 10 Gigabit ports deliver enough bandwidth for simultaneous high-speed transfers between multiple devices, NAS systems, and servers without congestion.
Auto-negotiates five speeds
Ports sense connected devices and adjust from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps automatically, so legacy gigabit gear and new 10G equipment work side by side without reconfiguration.
Works with Cat5e for most speeds
Standard Cat5e cabling handles 1G, 2.5G, and 5G connections up to 100 meters; 10G connections need Cat6 (55 m) or Cat6a (100 m).
Desktop or rack mounting
Included rackmount kit lets you install it in a server rack or use rubber feet to sit it on a desk, fitting either office or closet setups.
Plug-and-play, no setup
Unmanaged operation means no configuration menus, VLANs, or learning curve — connect power and cables, and it works immediately.

- Compatible with 10G NAS, 10G servers, 10G PCIe adapters, WiFi 6 access points (2.5G/5G/10G), workstations, and desktop computers.
- Supports 100BASE-TX (legacy Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T standards.
- Supports flow control (802.3X) and QoS prioritization (802.1p/DSCP) for gaming and video streaming.
- 10 Gbps connections require STP-rated Cat6, Cat6a, or Cat7 cable for distances up to 100 m; UTP Cat6 is limited to 55 m at 10 Gbps. Use Cat5e or better for 1G/2.5G/5G.
Best for
- Small office and home office teams consolidating high-speed NAS backups and workstation traffic.
- WiFi 6 deployments requiring wired backbone bandwidth to match wireless access point speeds.
- Content creators and video editors transferring 8K files between workstations and shared storage without waiting.
- LAN parties and gaming labs where low latency and high throughput matter.
- Networks mixing older gigabit and newer multi-gigabit equipment that must coexist without manual speed adjustment.
Trade-offs
- Managed networks or complex routing. This switch is unmanaged — no VLAN, port mirroring, or device management features.
- PoE-powered devices. No Power over Ethernet; all connected devices must have their own power supplies.
- Enterprises needing redundancy or failover. Single device with no built-in backup or mesh capability.
- Users with only legacy Fast Ethernet. Designed for multi-gig speeds; a gigabit-only network sees no advantage.
As the flagship 10G product, TL-SX1008 is an 8-port 10G desktop/rackmount switch, providing up to 160 Gbps of switching capacity. Auto-negotiation 5-speed (100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) connections sense the link speeds and intelligently adjust for compatibility and optimal performance for all your devices, including 10G NAS, 10G server, workstation, gaming computer, 2.5G/5G/10G WiFi 6 AP, 8K video, desktop, and more.
Reliable, lightning-fast connections and the lowest possible latency make it ideal for gaming and small office and home office use.
Work at office or home with lightning-fast connections to workstations, desktop computers, and WiFi 6 access points. The best option to meet the full bandwidth potential of WiFi 6 access points with 10G wired connections.
Immediately back up and store computer files to NAS storage with increased transfer speeds, never waste time.
The versatile mounting system gives you the flexibility to place the TL-SX1008 on a desktop or mount it in a rack. Designed to integrate flawlessly into existing gigabit Ethernet network infrastructures, guaranteeing speeds 5× faster§ using standard Cat5e Ethernet cables—no Cat6 wiring needed. With Cat6a or higher rated cables, 10G connections are built up to 100 meters (328 feet).
