Nowadays, ISPs in many areas have started offering Multi-Gig internet access, and the wireless world moves fast into the WiFi 6 and 5G era. Additionally, the faster 10G is also coming to home electronic equipment like storage devices and PCs, device with the speed of 2.5G/5G/10G will gradually become the mainstream products in the small office and home scenarios in the near future.
10G, short for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, is a group of technologies for an ultra-fast wired network that transmits data frames at a rate of 10 billion bits per second. For the last decade or so, we have witnessed advanced computers and drivers that read files at 10 Gbps speed; however, we are still stuck with 1G or 0.1G networks, which can easily feel like a bottleneck between devices. When inter-devices transferring quickly reach the limits of your network, 10G is the answer.
As the flagship 10G product, TP-Link’s TL-SX1008 and TL-SX105 are the newest 10G unmanaged switches with 8× 10GE and 5× 10GE ports, respectively, aiming to provide powerful and lightning-fast wired connections. Auto-negotiation 5-speed (100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) connections sense the link speeds and intelligently adjust for compatibility and optimal performance for all the devices, including 10G NAS, 10G server, workstation, 10G PCIe Adapter/ NIC, gaming computer, 2.5G/5G/10G WiFi 6 AP, 8K video, desktop, and more. The revolutionary fanless design of TL-SX105 and intelligent fan speed adjustment of TL-SX1008 ensure quiet operation, ideal for any home or business. Besides, reliable connections and the lowest possible latency make it ideal for business and home offices, LAN parties, home entertainment, workstations, gaming, and more.

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. The wireless speeds listed here are the maximum theoretical data rates. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition.
‡Video transfer estimates are based on the minimum time needed when all relevant devices are performing at their maximum possible capacity. Actual transfer time is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of environmental factors, network conditions, and client limitations.
§5× faster speeds refer to the speeds compared to standard 1G ports. The actual speeds may vary due to cable quality and type, client limitations, and environmental factors.
