TP-LINK TL-SG2218 16-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch with 2 SFP Slots, 150W PoE+

The TP-LINK TL-SG2218 is a high-performance L2+ managed switch designed for small and medium businesses, offering 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports and 2 SFP slots. With a total PoE budget of 150W, it supports IEEE 802.3at/af devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The switch provides advanced security features, VLAN support, and QoS to optimize network traffic. It can be managed via web GUI, CLI, or integrated into the Omada SDN platform for centralized cloud management. The rackmountable design and dual fans ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.

Advantages

This switch delivers robust performance with a switching capacity of 36 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 26.78 Mpps. Its 16 PoE+ ports simplify deployment by powering devices over Ethernet, eliminating the need for separate power outlets. The L2+ features include static routing, ACL, and IP-MAC-Port binding for enhanced network control. The Omada Cloud SDN integration allows remote management and scalability, making it ideal for growing networks.
