Frequently Asked Questions

A

Each RJ-45 port auto-negotiates to the highest common speed with connected devices, supporting 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. This allows for flexible connections to a mix of older and newer devices while maintaining full-duplex operation where available.

Is this answer helpful?

A

Yes. The 10/100/1000 Mbps LEDs illuminate to indicate a link and activity: the 1000M LED lights for gigabit connections, while the 10M/100M LED reflects fast Ethernet activity. Power LED confirms the switch is powered on.

Is this answer helpful?

A

The TL-SG105 is a 5-port desktop switch designed for small setups. For larger networks, consider a higher-port model or a stackable solution, as this model does not provide built-in stacking capability.

Is this answer helpful?
