Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this switch and a Gigabit switch?
The TL-SF1008D is a Fast Ethernet switch, meaning its ports run at up to 100Mbps. A Gigabit switch runs at up to 1000Mbps. For most home and light office use — browsing, printing, and standard IP cameras — 100Mbps is sufficient. If you need higher throughput for NVRs, servers, or 4K IP cameras, consider the TL-SG1008D Gigabit model.
Does it require any setup?
No. The TL-SF1008D is fully unmanaged — plug in your devices and it works immediately. There is no web interface, software, or login required.
Does it support PoE?
No. This switch does not supply Power over Ethernet. IP cameras and other PoE devices will need a separate power source or a dedicated PoE switch.
Can I use crossover cables with this switch?
You do not need to. Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports means the switch automatically detects and adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables — either will work.
Is it suitable for IP cameras?
Yes, for standard definition and lower-resolution IP cameras that operate within 100Mbps bandwidth. For high-resolution or multi-stream 4K cameras, a Gigabit switch is recommended.
Does it ship Australia-wide?
Yes. CCTV Guru ships the TL-SF1008D Australia-wide from local stock.
