TP-Link TL-SG1008MP - 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG1008MP is an advanced 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments. Whether you're looking to expand your home network or enhance your office setup, this switch seamlessly integrates power and data transmission, making it a cornerstone of efficient network infrastructure.

• 8-Port Gigabit Connectivity: The TL-SG1008MP is equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) technology. This allows for high-speed data transfer of up to 1000 Mbps while providing power to connected devices, eliminating the need for additional power adapters.
• Impressive Power Budget: With a total PoE power budget of 126W, the switch can deliver up to 30W per port. This feature allows you to easily connect high-power devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and IP phones, ensuring they receive adequate power without compromising performance.
• Innovative Energy Efficiency: Designed with energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG1008MP can save up to 75% in power consumption. This not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a greener environment, making it an eco-friendly choice for businesses.
• Automatic Power Management: The switch's smart power allocation capabilities allow it to automatically detect and supply power to connected IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices. This means you can expand your network in locations where electrical outlets are not available, providing flexibility in network setup.
• Overload Protection with Port Priority: The TL-SG1008MP features a priority function that protects the system from power overloads. If connected devices exceed the 126W power limit, the switch will automatically disable power to the lowest priority port, ensuring stable operation for critical devices.
