Managed Switch TP-Link TL-SG1016PE 16-Port Gigabit with 8-Port PoE+

The TP-Link TL-SG1016PE is a 16-port managed Gigabit switch with eight PoE+ ports and a total power budget of 110 W. Designed for desktop or 1U rack installation, it delivers up to 30 W per PoE port to power devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and IP phones while providing a switching capacity of 32 Gbps and an 8000-entry MAC address table for efficient traffic handling.

Advantages

The TL-SG1016PE combines management features with PoE+ support on eight ports, enabling centralized power and data delivery over a single Ethernet cable. With support for common networking standards (including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet), rack-mount capability and a compact 1U form factor, it fits small and medium business networks. Energy-efficient technologies reduce power consumption by up to 75%, and the 110 W budget allows multiple high-powered devices to operate without separate power supplies.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized office networks requiring PoE for APs and IP phones
• Surveillance systems with multiple PoE IP cameras
• Edge aggregation or access layer in compact rack or desktop deployments

Key specifications

• Ports: 16 × Gigabit RJ-45 ports, 8 with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at)
• Total PoE power budget: 110 W, up to 30 W per port
• Switching capacity: 32 Gbps
• MAC address table: 8000 entries
• Managed switch with support for IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1p and other common standards
• Form factor: Desktop or 1U rack-mountable; colour: black

How to use

Install the TL-SG1016PE on a desktop or mount it in a 1U rack space, connect uplink and client devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports, and connect PoE-powered devices to any of the eight PoE+ ports. Configure VLANs, QoS and other management settings through the switch’s management interface to segment traffic and prioritise critical services. Ensure the combined power draw of connected PoE devices does not exceed the 110 W budget; if necessary, distribute high-power devices across separate ports or switches.

Recommendations

Use the TL-SG1016PE to centralise power and data for network endpoints. For deployments with many high-power devices, calculate total PoE consumption in advance and leave margin for peak loads; keep firmware updated and apply VLAN and QoS settings to maintain network performance.
