TP-Link TL-LS1005 5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch

Efficient Network Expansion Solution

The TP-Link LiteWave Series offers a straightforward approach to expanding your wired network. These unmanaged switches provide instant connectivity for multiple devices without complex setup procedures. Each model delivers reliable performance through robust data transfer capabilities and energy-efficient operation.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

Setting up your LiteWave switch requires minimal effort:

• No configuration needed – simply connect your devices
• Auto-MDI/MDIX functionality eliminates cable type concerns
• Auto-negotiation automatically selects optimal connection speeds
• Compact form factor fits easily on desktops or mounts to walls
• Fanless design ensures quiet operation in any environment

The LiteWave Series allows you to expand your network immediately without technical expertise or specialized tools.

Performance Options to Match Your Needs

The LiteWave Series includes multiple models to accommodate different networking requirements:

• LS105G/LS108G: Metal housing, 5 or 8 Gigabit ports, 802.1p/DSCP QoS support
• LS1005G/LS1008G: Plastic housing, 5 or 8 Gigabit ports
• LS1005/LS1008: Plastic housing, 5 or 8 Fast Ethernet ports

Each model features store-and-forward packet switching to prevent error propagation and ensure data integrity across your network.

Energy-Saving Technology

The LiteWave switches incorporate green Ethernet technology that intelligently reduces power consumption:

• Power adjustment based on cable length
• Automatic power-down for inactive ports
• Reduced energy use during low traffic periods

This energy-efficient design helps lower electricity costs while maintaining reliable network performance.

Advanced Data Handling

The LiteWave Series employs several technologies to ensure smooth data transfer:

• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during congestion
• Store-and-forward switching architecture filters out error packets
• QoS prioritization for time-sensitive applications (LS105G/LS108G models)
• Support for jumbo frames enables more efficient data transmission

These features work together to maintain network stability even during periods of heavy usage.

Ideal Users

The TP-Link LiteWave Series switches are particularly well-suited for:

• Home users seeking simple network expansion for streaming devices and computers
• Small office environments with basic networking needs and limited IT support
• Budget-conscious customers requiring reliable performance without premium features
• Users who value quiet operation, with the fanless design eliminating noise concerns
• Locations with space constraints, thanks to the compact form factor and wall-mounting options
