TP-LINK Gigabit Easy Smart Switch

Overview

Image: Two TP-LINK Gigabit Easy Smart Switches. The top one appears to be the 16-port model (TL-SG1016DE) and the bottom one the 24-port model (TL-SG1024DE). Both are rack-mountable network switches with multiple RJ45 ports and LED indicators.

The TP-LINK TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE 16-Port/24-Port Gigabit Easy Smart switch is an ideal upgrade from an unmanaged switch, designed for Small and Medium Business (SMB) networks that require simple network management. Network administrators can effectively monitor traffic via Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention, and Cable Diagnostics features. To optimize traffic on your business network, the TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE offers both port and tag-based QoS to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving smoothly and jitter-free. Additionally, port-based, tag-based, and MTU VLAN can improve security and meet more network segmentation requirements. Moreover, with innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE can save up to 40% of power consumption, making it an eco-friendly solution for your business network.

Key Features

Simple & Effective Management

TP-LINK Gigabit Easy Smart switches offer network monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. With Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention, and Cable Diagnostics features, the TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE can identify and even locate connection problems on your business network. Administrators can designate traffic priority based on Port Priority and 802.1P Priority, ensuring voice and video are always clear, smooth, and lag-free. To improve security and network performance, the TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN, and 802.1Q-based VLAN functions. It is an upgrade from plug-and-play Unmanaged Switches, delivering great value while empowering your network.

Go Green With Your Ethernet

Upgrade to a gigabit network while being environmentally conscious. These switches feature the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand network capacity with much less power. They automatically adjust power consumption according to link status and cable length to limit the carbon footprint.

• Power down Idle Ports: Automatically detects the link status of each port and reduces power consumption for idle ports.
• Power Budget According to Cable Length: Analyzes Ethernet cable length and adjusts power usage accordingly, rather than consuming a fixed amount.

Ease of Use

The TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE are easy to use and manage. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed (10, 100, or 1000Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. Their compact size makes them ideal for desktops with limited space, and they are also rack-mountable for convenience and safety. Dynamic LED lights provide real-time work status display and basic fault diagnosis.
