10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch

Requirements for Cabling Indoors

When cabling indoors, keep a certain distance away from the devices that may cause high-frequency interferences, such as down-conductor cable, powerline, power transformer and electromotor.

The main cable should be paved in the metal raceway of the access shaft. When cabling, keep the loop area formed by the cable itself as small as possible.

Requirements for the distance between Ethernet cable and other pipelines are shown in the table.

The two diagrams below demonstrate parallel net length and parallel-overlapping net height.

Note: The above minimum net length/height is required when metal raceway is not used. If any requirements cannot be met, you can add a steel tube or metal raceway for shielding.

The TL-SF1016DS is a 16-port Fast Ethernet switch that combines high performance with energy efficiency, featuring support for IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet technology. This allows the device to automatically adjust power consumption based on link status and cable length, leading to reduced energy costs. With a switching capacity of 3.2 Gbps, it ensures seamless data transfer across all ports without congestion.

The TL-SF1048, on the other hand, is a 48-port switch designed for larger network demands. It delivers reliable performance with a switching capacity of 96 Gbps, making it suitable for high-traffic environments. It also incorporates store-and-forward switching technology, which minimizes transmission errors and maximizes data integrity. Additionally, the device features a fanless design, making it an ideal choice for noise-sensitive locations.

For organizations seeking a balance between performance and cost, the TL-SF1024D is a great option. With 24 ports, this switch also supports plug-and-play installation, allowing users to set up their networks quickly without complex configurations. It operates on a non-blocking architecture, providing full-speed throughput on all ports simultaneously, which is essential for data-intensive applications.

The TL-SF1016, another 16-port solution, also embraces the plug-and-play functionality, making it user-friendly for non-technical personnel. It is designed for high-density environments while ensuring minimal power consumption, further enhanced by its compact design that conserves valuable workspace.

Lastly, the TL-SF1024 is an economical choice for businesses looking to expand their networks without breaking the bank. Like its counterparts, it features auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, which simplifies connectivity by eliminating the need for manual configuration. It's crafted to meet the demands of modern networks, supporting various operating environments.

In summary, whether through the compact TL-SF1016DS or the robust TL-SF1048, TP-Link’s unmanaged switches deliver features like energy efficiency, easy installation, and high switching capacities, crafting solutions that suit diverse networking needs across different scales.
