Eight 2.5G ports for multi-gig networks

The TP-Link TL-SG108-M2 is an unmanaged desktop switch with eight RJ45 ports that each operate at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps. Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX handle speed and cabling automatically. A 16K MAC table, 10 KB jumbo frame support and 1.5 MB buffer keep traffic moving. The fanless metal chassis runs silently in 0–40 °C environments.

Replaces 1G switches when 2.5G devices arrive

Upgrading from a gigabit switch makes sense when you add 2.5G WiFi 6 access points, 2.5G NAS units, 2.5G PCIe adapters or servers that can use the extra bandwidth. The ports negotiate down to 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps for older gear, so the switch works with existing cabling. No configuration or software is required.

Suits homes and small offices needing silent 2.5G

Builders who want a quiet, plug-and-play switch for desktop or wall mounting will find the metal case and fanless design fit well. It is not for networks that require managed features such as VLANs, QoS or link aggregation. Buyers needing more than eight ports or 10 Gbps uplinks should look at larger or managed models.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions and mounting options for the TL-SG108-M2?

The switch measures 1.40" x 8.90" x 5.20" and supports both desktop placement with the included rubber feet and wall-mounting for flexible installation.

How do I install the switch and what common step should I avoid skipping?

Connect the supplied power adapter, link devices via the eight RJ45 ports, and let auto-negotiation handle 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps speeds; do not skip the power adapter, as the unit has no PoE input.

What maintenance or replacement should I plan for over the switch's lifetime?

The fanless metal design has no moving parts or user-serviceable components; only the external power adapter may need replacement if it fails, while the switch itself carries limited lifetime protection.
