8-port Gigabit Smart Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG2008 is an eight-port Gigabit Smart switch built for small business networks that need managed Layer 2 features. It delivers full wire-speed connectivity on every RJ45 port and supports VLAN, QoS and security functions usually found on larger switches.

Practical limits of the IEEE 802.3 standards

The switch operates at 10, 100 or 1000 megabits per second over copper cabling and complies with IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u and 802.3ab. Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes are supported, but the MAC table holds 8K entries and only 512 VLANs can be active simultaneously from the 4K VLAN ID space.

Check your existing setup before ordering

Verify that your rack or shelf can accommodate a unit measuring 1 inch high by 8.2 inches wide by 4.9 inches deep and weighing 1.85 units. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius with 10 to 90 percent non-condensing humidity, and the power supply accepts 100 to 240 volts AC at 50 or 60 hertz.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the TL-SG2008 and other 8-port switches in the range?

The TL-SG2008 provides eight 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports with Smart management features including 512 simultaneous VLANs, LACP link aggregation up to six groups of four ports, and Layer 2 QoS with four priority queues, making it suitable for small business networks needing VLAN segmentation and traffic prioritisation.

What does the 10/100/1000Mbps port speed mean for actual throughput in my network?

Each RJ45 port negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000Mbps full duplex; with an 8K MAC address table and 9216-byte jumbo frame support the switch can sustain wire-speed Gigabit traffic across all eight ports simultaneously for file transfers, VoIP and video streams.

Which IEEE standards does the switch implement and what limits do they impose?

The switch complies with IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3ad, 802.3x, 802.1d, 802.1s, 802.1w, 802.1q and 802.1p, enabling Gigabit Ethernet, link aggregation, flow control, spanning tree, VLAN tagging and priority tagging on every port.
