TP-Link TL-SG1008P

What does this product do?
The Gigabit desktop switch with 8 ports and PoE on 4 of them enables seamless network connections. It features 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet capacity.

How does this product work?
Four of the eight Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports (ports 1 to 4) of the switch support the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function. These PoE ports can automatically detect and power IEEE 802.3af compliant Powered Devices (PDs). In this situation, power supply occurs together with data transmission over a single cable, allowing you to extend your network to locations without power supply and install devices such as APs, IP cameras, or IP phones.

Overload protection
The TL-SG1008P has a priority function that protects the system against overload. If the power consumption of all PoE PDs >= 53 W, a priority is assigned to the PoE ports, after which the system will shut down the power to the port with the lowest priority.

Priority function for ports
Priority (port 1 > port 2 > port 3 > port 4): This function helps protect the system when the power supply is overloaded. For example, if ports 1, 2, and 4 each use 15.4 W (max power supply per port is 15.4 W), the total power supply to the system is 46.2 W (PoE max light is red). If a PD with 10 W is then connected to port 3, the system will shut down port 4 to protect the system. This means that port 1 and 2 each use 15.4 W and port 3 uses 10 W. Port 4 receives no power.

Easy to use
The TL-SG1008P is easy to install and use. No configuration or installation is required. With its desktop design, excellent performance, and quality, the TL-SG1008P with 8 Gigabit ports, 4 of which are PoE from TP-LINK, is an excellent choice for expanding your home or office network.
