TP-Link TL-SG105S 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

TP-Link is a global provider of reliable networking devices and accessories, founded in 1996 in Shenzhen, China. The product shown, the TL-SG105S, is a popular unmanaged desktop switch designed for small businesses and home offices, featuring five gigabit ports in a durable metal casing.

Historically a Chinese-owned entity, TP-Link underwent a significant corporate restructuring in 2024 to transition into a US-headquartered global corporation (TP-Link Global Corporation Group). This move was designed to separate its international operations from its Chinese origins, establishing major operational hubs in the United States and Singapore. Manufacturing primarily occurs in China, though the company has been diversifying its supply chain to other regions, including Vietnam and Brazil, to serve its global market better.
