Compare TP-LINK LS1005G and LS105G
Switches TP-LINK LS1005G and TP-LINK LS105G are unmanaged desktop devices with the same number of Gigabit Ethernet ports — 5. The main differences lie in the dimensions: the LS1005G measures 90x72x23 mm, while the LS105G is slightly larger at 100x98x25 mm. Both devices use an external power adapter with a voltage of 9 V and do not support PoE. Users note that both switches are reliable and easy to use, but the LS105G might be preferable for those seeking a more compact solution.

Glossary
Bandwidth
The bandwidth of a switch is the maximum amount of traffic that it can handle. Specified in gigabits per second.
This parameter directly depends on the number of network ports in the device (excluding Uplink). Actually, even if the bandwidth is not given in the specifications, it can still be calculated using the following formula: the number of ports multiplied by the bandwidth of an individual port and multiplied by two (since both incoming and outgoing traffic are taken into account). For example, a model with 8 Gigabit Ethernet connectors and 2 SFP ports will have a bandwidth of (8*1 + 2*1)*2 = 20 Gbps.
The choice for this indicator is quite obvious: you need to evaluate the expected traffic volumes in the serviced network segment and make sure that the switch's bandwidth will cover it with a margin of at least 10-15% (this will give an additional guarantee in case of emergency situations). At the same time, if you plan to often work at high, close to maximum, loads, it will not hurt to clarify such a characteristic as the internal bandwidth of the switch. It is usually given in a detailed technical description, and if this value is less than the total throughput, serious problems may arise under significant loads.

MAC address table size
The maximum number of MAC addresses that can be stored in the Switch's memory at the same time. Specified in thousands, for example, 8K — 8K.
Recall that the MAC address is the unique address of each individual network device used in physical routing (at layer 2 of the OSI network model). Switches of all types work with such addresses. And it is worth choosing a switch according to the size of the table, taking into account the maximum number of devices that are supposed to be used with it (including based on the possible expansion of the network). If the table is not enough, the switch will overwrite new addresses over the old ones, which can noticeably slow down the work.
