TP-Link TL-SG105 Switch GB Desktop 5 10/100/1000M RJ45

TP-Link TL-SG105 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

Overview

The TL-SG105 is a compact, unmanaged 5-port gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small-scale network expansion in security and automation installations where device count exceeds available wall-outlet ports. Each port operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps, meaning full gigabit throughput for IP cameras, network access points, and control devices. Because it is unmanaged (no configuration required), it deploys immediately — plug in power, connect devices to the RJ45 ports, and it bridges traffic with zero setup overhead. The steel case provides basic EMI shielding suitable for standard indoor environments.

Compatibility

Works with any device or system using standard RJ45 Ethernet ports: IP cameras (all brands), PoE injectors, wireless access points, NVRs, network switches, and enterprise security appliances. Use TL-SG105 as a stub or daisy-chain switch to extend a network switch run when port density is exhausted locally. Unmanaged architecture means no VLAN isolation or QoS — suitable for flat, trusted networks only.

Key Specifications

5× 10/100/1000M RJ45 ports: All ports auto-sense and negotiate gigabit speed, eliminating manual cable categorization. Sufficient bandwidth for simultaneous multi-megabit streams (e.g., dual 4MP cameras + wireless AP uplink).

Unmanaged operation: No IP address assignment, no web interface, no configuration. Reduces deployment time and training overhead on small jobs.

Steel chassis: Provides basic mechanical protection and minor EMI filtering. Desktop form factor fits standard 19" racks only via optional third-party shelf or bracket.

When to Choose a Different Model

If you require VLAN segregation, port mirroring, Spanning Tree, or managed uplink failover, specify a managed gigabit switch instead. If PoE power injection is needed at the switch itself (not via external injectors), consider a PoE-capable model from the same product family.
