Managed Switch TP-Link TL-SG108PE 8-Port Gigabit with 4-Port PoE

8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch with 4-Port PoE provides reliable network connectivity and centralized power delivery for small offices and surveillance setups. The switch supports IP cameras, IP phones and wireless access points, allowing data and power transmission over the same Ethernet cables. A compact metal enclosure with shielded RJ45 ports and fanless design ensures quiet and durable operation.

Advantages

The four PoE-enabled ports (Port 1–Port 4) automatically detect IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices and supply power without additional adapters. Intelligent power management protects connected devices by prioritizing ports when total power consumption exceeds 55 W. Web-based management and a utility provide traffic monitoring, traffic prioritization and enhanced QoS for easier network administration.

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports, including 4 PoE ports (Port 1–Port 4)
• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3af (Auto-detection of PDs)
• Total PoE budget: 55 W (intelligent power management with port prioritization)
• Management: Easy Smart web-based GUI and management utility
• Enclosure: Sturdy metal casing, shielded RJ45 ports, desktop or wall-mountable
• Cooling: Fanless design for silent operation

How to use

Install the switch on a desktop or mount it on a wall, connect network devices to the Gigabit RJ45 ports and connect IEEE 802.3af-compliant PDs to PoE ports to receive data and power over a single cable. Access the web-based interface or management utility to monitor traffic, configure QoS and set port priorities. If total PoE demand exceeds the 55 W budget, adjust device priorities or redistribute powered devices to avoid automatic power cutoffs on lower-priority ports.

Recommendations

For surveillance and VoIP deployments, connect cameras and IP phones to the PoE ports and wireless access points to the remaining Gigabit ports. Ensure total powered device consumption remains below 55 W or configure priority settings to maintain power for critical equipment.
