TP-Link Omada 8-Port 10G Multi-Gigabit Desktop and Rackmount Switch

TP-Link Omada 8-Port 10G Desktop/Rackmount Switch (DS1008X) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The DS1008X puts eight 10G multi-gigabit ports in a half-width 1U chassis with no configuration at all. Every port auto-negotiates across 100 Mbps, 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G, so NAS units, workstations, 10G uplinks and ordinary Gigabit gear can share one switch without anyone choosing a speed. Rackmount kit and rubber feet are both in the box.

Eight Ports, Five Speeds, No Setup

Each of the eight RJ45 ports runs at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX. That five-speed range is what makes multi-gigabit useful in practice: a 2.5G Wi-Fi 7 access point, a 5G workstation NIC and a 10G NAS all connect at their own rate on the same switch, and a Cat 5e run that cannot carry 10G will fall back to 2.5G or 5G rather than failing outright.

160 Gbps of Non-Blocking Capacity

Switching capacity is 160 Gbps with a 119.0 Mpps forwarding rate — full duplex 10G on all eight ports at once, with nothing shared. A 32 K MAC address table, 2 Mb packet buffer and 10 KB jumbo frame support sit behind it, and store-and-forward switching keeps corrupt frames off the wire. For file transfers between a NAS and several 10G clients this is the difference between sustained throughput and a switch that throttles under concurrency.

802.3x Flow Control and 802.1p/DSCP QoS Built In

Although unmanaged, the DS1008X applies 802.3x flow control and honours 802.1p and DSCP priority markings set by the devices attached to it. In a small studio or office where video, backup traffic and ordinary work share the same eight ports, that means latency-sensitive traffic tagged upstream is still treated correctly, without anyone configuring the switch.

Rack or Desk, With Mains Power Built In

The 294 x 180 x 44 mm chassis is half-rack width and 1U high, and the box includes both a rackmount kit and rubber feet, so the same unit works on a shelf or in a cabinet. Power comes from an internal 100-240 VAC supply via a power cord — there is no external brick to lose. Maximum consumption is 31.2 W, with one fan and per-port link/act indicators built into each RJ45 jack.

Ideal For

Singapore studios, post-production suites, small server rooms and offices moving a NAS, a few workstations and a multi-gigabit access point to 10G without adding a managed switch to administer. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
