Its very good at handling Internet traffic from my sky router. Very easy to set up. Plug and play. I find TP Products to be reliable and good value for money. I wish the power supply was situated in a different position. Connectivity is simple. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective, simple to setup and good value. What else do you need from a Network Switch? *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 June 2026* There never seem to be enough ports on a router. A cabled network is always going to be faster than domestic wifi. I have a NAS, an external HDD, a TV, an Xbox, two printers . . . .A network switch was called for, to support these mmyriad devices. I have had a number of TP-Link devices and have always been impressed by their simplicity, reliability and value for money,This example ticked all three of the requirements.It was very easy to setup and you would not need to know very muuch about networking to have it up and running in very little time at all. Just make sure you have enough cables to do the job.I recommend this device without hesitation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, small, functional, what more do we need? *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 April 2014* The metal cased TP-Link 8 port Gigabit TL-SG108 1000/100/10 switch works perfectly straight out of the box. No set-up is required. It auto-senses the cable connection and interfaces correctly to both T568A and T568B wiring of the cables, so there is no need for 'crossover' leads.The power supply is a small 9V plug-top unit that barely thinks about getting warm. Measured current from a 9V bench power supply was 85mA (765mW) with no ports connected, rising to 120mA (1080mW) all ports connected but no traffic, during a 7GByte 1000Mb/s backup between two long-wire ports the current peaked at roughly 230mA (~2W) but varied. Much, much better than the old 100/10 hub it replaces which always took about 350mA (~2.6W) at 7.5V 24/7 and also had an inefficient hot mains brick.The LED lights on the front edge, two adjacent to each of the eight sockets indicate activity in the normal way; solid for connected and flashing for data transfer, the green LED for 1000Mb/s and the yellow LED for 100/10Mb/s. There is also a separate green LED showing when the power is correct. I would have preferred the lights to be on the other side from all of the leads as with the version (9.0) of the TP-Link SF1005D (not shown on Az now) I bought in 2012, or on the top as with this version TP-Link SF1005D I bought in 2011, but I understand why it was done here.A couple of keyhole slots in the base of the metal box enable one to mount it on a pair of no6 countersink-head woodscrews to allow tidy routing of the cables. The four rubber feet help to prevent it from sliding off the screws. The 8 port box is 100mm x 160mm x 28mm.My house usually has no wi-fi; the CAT5E LAN is all hard-wired and this new switch living next to the big PC, a media server and the network printer, replaces a previous and out-of-date 100/10Mb/s generic unit from Maplin.The network is mixed traffic, mostly Gigabit, but still some old 100Mb/s Ethernet. The new switch handles it all at full duplex with no problems, and I have noticed a slight increase in the speed of the 100Mb/s transfers as well. I bought this after several months of positive experience with its little brother the TL-SG105 and the TD-W8970 router.As usual, I took the lid off to have a look inside (my work used to include designing high speed electronics) and it is nicely made with good quality components and proper attention to screening and track layout.Recommended.Addendum.Be aware that on this product page either Az or TP-Link has stupidly mixed up all the reviews for all the different varieties of TP Link switches, 24, 16, 8 and 5 port, Gigabit or not, metal and several versions of plastic cases, even for switches no longer available, and they have different performance and best uses. But cut to the chase, and simply go for the latest versions of the metal boxed Gigabit switches. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link TL-SG605E 5 Port Gigabit Smart Switch, Network Switch, Power Saving, Plug & Play, Metal Case, Ethernet Switch, Ethernet Splitter, Centralized Cloud Management, Desktop or Wall Mount - Ercielook CAT8 Ethernet Cable 0,5m 1m 2m 3m 5m- High Speed Shielded Flat Internet Cable, Weatherproof S/FTP UV Resistant for Router/Gaming/Modem - 0.5m (White) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/535136847-tl-sg605e-5-port-gigabit-managed-network-switch-ethernet-splitter](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/535136847-tl-sg605e-5-port-gigabit-managed-network-switch-ethernet-splitter) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
