TP-Link TL-SF1008LP network switch Unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Black

The TP-Link TL-SF1008LP is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch with 8 ports, including 4 PoE ports and a total PoE budget of 41 W. Designed for simple plug-and-play deployment, it supports IEEE 802.3af PoE standard and provides PoE transmission for surveillance devices at extended distances up to 250 m when used with compatible equipment. The switch is housed in a durable metal casing and is suitable for offices, small businesses and similar installations where reliable wired networking and PoE power delivery are required.

Advantages

The device offers four dedicated PoE ports that supply up to 15.4 W per port within a 41 W total power budget, enabling connection of IP cameras, access points, IP phones and other PoE devices. One-touch Priority Mode increases priority for ports 1–2 to guarantee video quality for critical surveillance applications. Intelligent power management reduces power to lower-priority ports when total draw exceeds the budget, protecting high-priority devices and preventing overload. The metal housing protects internal components and contributes to longer service life.

Suitable for

• IP camera surveillance in offices and small businesses
• PoE-powered access points and wireless clients
• IP phones and basic VoIP deployments
• Small wired network expansions requiring PoE

How to use

Place and mount the switch in a suitable location, connect the DC power supply and attach Ethernet cables between the switch and network devices. Connect PoE-capable devices to the PoE ports to provide both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. If needed, enable one-touch Priority Mode for ports 1–2 to prioritize video traffic. The switch operates in plug-and-play mode and does not require additional configuration for basic use.

Recommendations

To ensure stable operation, calculate the combined power requirements of connected PoE devices so they do not exceed the 41 W budget. Connect mission-critical cameras or access points to ports 1–2 when QoS priority for video is required. Use high-quality Ethernet cables and mount the switch in a ventilated, dry environment to extend service life.
