TP-Link TL-SG1008MP Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Black

The TP-Link TL-SG1008MP is an unmanaged 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with full Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at, PoE+) support on all ports. Designed for desktop placement or 1U rack mounting, it transfers power and data over a single Ethernet cable to devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and IP phones. With a total PoE budget of 126 W and up to 30 W available per port, the TL-SG1008MP supports higher-powered PoE devices while offering energy-efficient technology to reduce power consumption.

Advantages

All eight RJ-45 ports provide Gigabit (10/100/1000) connectivity with automatic PoE detection and delivery, eliminating the need for separate power supplies for connected devices. The switch is unmanaged, requiring no configuration for plug-and-play installation, and can be mounted on a desktop or mounted in a 1U rack. Built-in energy-saving features lower operational power use, and the device’s MAC address table and switching capacity ensure stable layer‑2 forwarding for small business or home networks.

Suitable for

• Powering and connecting wireless access points (APs)
• Feeding PoE IP cameras in surveillance setups
• Connecting VoIP/IP phones in small office or branch environments
• Expanding wired networks in homes, offices or retail locations

How to use

Place the TL-SG1008MP on a flat surface or install it in a 1U rack. Connect your network devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. The switch automatically detects IEEE 802.3af/at-compatible devices and supplies power over the same cable without additional configuration. Ensure the combined PoE power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 126 W total budget; the switch will prioritize ports if the budget is exceeded.

Recommendations

When planning deployments, allocate higher priority devices (ports 1–4 have higher priority than ports 5–8) for mission-critical equipment. Distribute high-power PoE devices to avoid exceeding the 126 W budget and consult device power requirements to stay within the per-port 30 W limit.
