8. TP-Link TL-SG105
Easy Handling
This switch requires no configuration. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, and auto-negotiation on each port detects the connection speed of a network device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Gigabit Switch
This allows power users at home, in the office, in a workgroup, or in a creative production environment to transfer large, bandwidth-intensive files more quickly. Send documents, programs, or multimedia files over the network without delay at speeds up to 2000 Mbps in full duplex mode.
Traffic Optimization
QoS (Quality of Service) enables smooth and latency-free data traffic for voice and video. IGMP snooping optimizes multicast data streams, especially for applications like IPTV, ensuring a better networking experience.
