TP-Link TL-SG1048 48-port Gigabit network switch

48-Port Gigabit Switch for Workgroups

The TL-SG1048 provides 48 RJ45 ports operating at 10/100/1000 Mbps with Auto Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX. It is an unmanaged, plug-and-play device built for demanding workgroup and departmental connectivity. A sturdy metal chassis with shielded ports houses the circuitry in a rackmount form factor. The fanless design ensures silent operation in office environments.

Rackmount Build Integration

The metal enclosure fits standard racks and frees up desk space while protecting ports with shielded connectors. Fanless cooling removes moving parts and eliminates noise, so the unit runs quietly in a cabinet or on a shelf. No configuration software or management interface is required; the switch begins forwarding frames as soon as cables are connected. Green technology adjusts power draw per link status to reduce overall consumption.

Capacity and Headroom

Forty-eight gigabit ports give ample headroom for connecting multiple workstations, printers, and access points in a single broadcast domain. Energy-efficient operation keeps power use low even when most ports are active at 1000 Mbps. The unmanaged design means there is no VLAN, QoS, or link aggregation support, so networks needing traffic segmentation or prioritisation will require a managed alternative. Packaging uses 80% recyclable material and the product complies with EU RoHS.
