The TP-LINK TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 features a non-blocking
switching architecture that forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for
maximum throughput. MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging,
IEEE802.3x flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for Half
Duplex mode. It is compatible with all 10,100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet
devices because it is standard-based, it protects your existing network
investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster
Gigabit speeds.
The TP-LINK TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 is plug-and-play and no
configuration is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable detection on all ports
eliminate the need for crossover cable or Uplink port. Each port can be used
as general ports or Uplink ports, and any port can be simply plugged into a
server, a hub, a router or a switch, using the straight cable or crossover cable.
Diagnostic LEDs which display link status and activity, allowing you to quickly
