Switch TP-LINK LiteWave 5-Port Gigabit Desktop with 4-Port PoE+ (5x Gigabit, 4 PoE+, 65W PoE budget)

The TP-Link LiteWave Series PoE Switches require no configuration and provide PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports. They automatically detect and supply power to IEEE 802.3af/at compliant Powered Devices (PDs), allowing data and electrical power to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. This enables placement of access points, IP cameras, IP phones and other network devices where separate power lines or outlets are not available.

Advantages

Plug-and-play operation eliminates the need for manual setup. Integrated PoE ports simplify installation by delivering power and data over one cable, reducing cabling and installation cost. Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at ensures broad support for common PoE devices. The ability to power devices at remote locations extends network deployment flexibility.

Key specifications

• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3af/at
• Power delivery: Supplies power over Ethernet cable
• Configuration: No configuration required (plug-and-play)
• Use cases: Access points, IP cameras, IP phones and other PoE devices
• Cabling: Single Ethernet cable carries data and power

How to use

Connect the switch to your network and plug compatible PoE devices into the PoE-enabled ports using standard Ethernet cables. The switch will automatically detect IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices and supply power without additional configuration. Ensure connected devices are within the power budget and use appropriate-length cables to maintain signal and power integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify device PoE class and total power requirements before connecting multiple devices. Use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) and keep cable runs within recommended lengths. If deploying outdoors or in harsh environments, select suitable enclosures and confirm ventilation and grounding per site requirements.
