DS1008X - TP-Link 8-Port 10G Desktop/Rackmount Switch (TL-SX1008)
Description
Description
The TP-Link TL-SX1008 (SKU: DS1008X) is an 8-port 10G desktop/rackmount switch designed to bring 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds to your network. Described by TP-Link as its flagship 10G product, it delivers up to 160 Gbps of switching capacity, making it a strong choice for anyone upgrading to a multi-gigabit network for NAS storage, servers, workstations and WiFi access points.
Auto-negotiating 5-speed connections (100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) sense the link speed and adjust automatically, so your existing and new devices all work together at their optimum performance. The switch is built to integrate into existing gigabit infrastructure, delivering speeds up to 5x faster over standard Cat5e cabling, while Cat6a or higher cables support 10G connections up to 100 metres.
A durable metal casing and heat-dissipating design support a wide operating temperature of 0-50 °C, while a smart fan with intelligent speed adjustment keeps noise low. With plug-and-play deployment, no technician or configuration is required, and the included rackmount kit and rubber feet let you place it on a desk or in a rack.

FAQs
How do I find the hardware version of my TP-Link device?
The hardware version is printed on the product label, typically on the bottom or back of the device, shown as "Ver: X.X" or "VX". You can also find it in the web management interface where available. Knowing it helps you download the correct firmware and drivers.
Which switches support Deco Ethernet backhaul?
TP-Link lists the 8-Port 10G Desktop/Rackmount Switch (TL-SX1008) among its verified compatible unmanaged switches for Deco Ethernet backhaul.
In Deco Router mode, how should I wire satellite units when using a switch?
Satellite Decos must connect to the main Deco's LAN port, or to a switch that is itself connected to the main Deco's LAN port. Do not connect them directly to the modem or router in front of the main Deco, as this creates a network loop.
