This new generation switch features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status & cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network. When a computer or network equipment is off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch will continue to consume considerable amounts of power. The TL-SG1008D automatically detects the link status of each port & reduces the power consumption of ports that are idle, resulting in an up to 80% reduction in power use. The built-in auto features of this switch make installation plug & play & hassle-free. Features include Auto MDI/MDIX (which eliminates the need for crossover cables) & Auto-negotiation, which senses the link speed of a network device & intelligently adjusts for compatibility & optimal performance. Gigabit Switch Featured with 8 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, TL-SG1008D expands your network capacity, enabling instant large files transferring. So, power users in the home, office, workgroup or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster.
