8-Port 2.5G Desktop Switch

The TP-Link DS108G-M2 is an unmanaged multi-gigabit switch with eight 2.5G RJ45 ports housed in a steel desktop case. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T and 2.5GBase-T connections with plug-and-play operation and 8.87 W power consumption. Ideal for expanding wired bandwidth to 2.5 Gbps per device without configuration.

Home offices and small teams needing simple 2.5G

Questions about this item

Does the 8.87 W power draw require an external power brick?

The switch ships with an internal power supply, so no external brick is needed.

What is the correct way to connect the 2.5G RJ45 ports for plug-and-play operation?

Use Cat5e or better twisted-pair cables and power the switch on before attaching devices.
