TP-Link 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch | 4 Port PoE 56W | 802.3af Compliant Shielded Ports | Traffic Optimization | Plug and Play | Sturdy Metal (TL-SG1005P)

Product Information

Built for extremely high throughput, WiFi 7 (Wi-Fi 7) is the 7th generation of Wi-Fi. It greatly increases the speed and further reduces latency. Here is everything you need to know about it—what is WiFi 7, why we need WiFi 7, how it works and what it contribute. The interior components of TL-SG1005P are protected by high-quality metal casing to ensure a long product life. Having passed an array of stringent reliability tests, TL-SG1005P delivers switching performance you can depend on. Up to 300 m Long Range PoE Transmission. The distance between IPCs and switch can reach maximum 300 meters. MAXtream, the breakthrough TDMA technology, makes outdoor AP smoother and produces more efficient communications.

The switch did well in testing, putting up numbers slightly better than the QNAP on its 2.5 Gb ports, while its gigabit ports performed very well. Under heavy traffic, we saw no performance loss, which is to be expected given its total bandwidth of 66 Gbps. The ZyXel was the second-hottest of the switches tested, peaking at 100 degrees Fahrenheit under load - which is definitely going to be warm to the touch, but not concerningly so. Just make sure the box has a bit of ventilation.

Some also have USB ports. Why you can trust Tom's Hardware Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you.

IP Camera, Wifi Access points… If you’re looking to power multiple PD devices, this is THE one to get. In testing, we found that, when using the Flex without configuration, it worked about as well as any other in this list: Transfer speeds were solid, and faster than other gigabit switches tested under load. It’s worth noting here, however, that the Ubiquiti does get quite hot, sitting easily over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at idle and getting as warm as 118.7 degrees F with every port in use -- and that’s in a cool room, with plenty of air movement. It’s rated to operate in temperatures up to 149 degrees F (at 25W output - 131F at 46W), but it would still be a good idea to keep it in a shaded area if using outside, as direct summer sun could shorten its lifespan or impact performance.

Just plug and play! TP-Link Omada Meshtechnology makes wireless deployment more flexible andconvenient.Omada EAPs with Mesh Technology, automatically choose the best route to extend your Wi-Fi further and more flexibly.MU-MIMO solves this problem by creating multiple simultaneous connections to serve several users with multiple data streams at the same time. Along with its 8-port sibling - the TL-SG108-M2 - the TL-SG105-M2 is low-profile, easy to set up, and features a fanless design and metal enclosure that will keep it as quiet as it is fast. And because it’s a 2.5 GbE switch, you might not need to buy new cabling; as long as you’re already using Cat 5e cabling in your network, you’re good to take advantage of the 802.3bz network protocol, which promises 2.5 GbE or 5 GbE connections over 100 meters of cable. In testing, this bore out, with super fast file transfers that didn’t even blink when we loaded the network down with as much traffic as we could muster. The switch ran a little warm though, topping out at about 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

You could go on several other forums and get a complete different list of preferred switches - why isn't this a regular Tom's Hardware complete comparison?Managed or Unmanaged: If you just need to get wired internet access to a few devices, then you’ll want an unmanaged network switch, which we recommend for most users. This doesn’t mean the switch has no features -- unmanaged switches can often do plenty of fancy things, from traffic prioritizing QoS to loop detection.
