&lt;b&gt;WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TL-SF1024 with TP-LINK Green Technology is an Environmentally-friendly and competitive choice for small business. It provides 8 10/100Mps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports and 2 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports all RJ45 ports Support Auto-MDI/MDIX function. TL-SF1024 Gigabit Switch provides a cost-effective high performance non-disruptive smooth evolution into Gigabit solutions. The Switch delivers superior performance with improving workgroup network bandwidth increasing network node providing the greater flexibility installation convenience. Moreover with the innovative energy-efficient technology the TL-SF1024 can save up to 75% of the power consumption making it an eco-friendly solution for your business network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;GO GREEN WITH YOUR ETHERNET&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You now have the choice to go green when upgrading to a gigabit network! This new product TL-SF1024 features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status and cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network.&lt;br /&gt;Power down Idle Ports&lt;br /&gt;When a computer or network equipment is off the corresponding port of a traditional switch will continue to consume considerable amounts of power. The TL-SF1024 can automatically detect the link status of each port and reduce the power consumption of ports that are idle.&lt;br /&gt;Power Budget According to Cable Length&lt;br /&gt;Ideally shorter cables would use less power because of less power degradation over their length; this is not the case with most devices as they will use the same amount of power across the cable regardless of whether it is 10 or 50 meters in length. The TL-SF1024analyzes the length of the Ethernet cable connected and adjusts the power usage accordingly rather than keeping the power consumption in a conventional solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gigabit Uplink&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TL-SF1024 has 8 fast Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit uplink port. The Gigabit uplink port provides bandwidth access of up to 1000Mbps. Due to the fact that network upgrades tend to be progressive over time your network will tend to become mixed with both Fast 100Mbps Ethernet and Gigabit.TL-SF1024 is ideal for situations such as these to mitigate throughput issues and coordinate work efficiently; Allowing your organization retain most of your network investments while enhancing network performance quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;More Efficient&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Utilizing non-blocking switching architecture TL-SF1024 can forward and filter packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. Moreover 100% data filtering rate eliminates all error packets and make your network work more efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Easy to Use&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When powered on it can work automatically without any pre-set. All ports support Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX function. Compact size shell make it ideal for desktops with limited space while it is also Rackmountable convenient and safe. Dynamic LED lights provide real-time work status display and basic fault diagnosis. &lt;br /&gt;
