TP-Link TL-SG1008P 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch with 4-Port PoE+
Product Overview
The TP-Link TL-SG1008P (Model: TL-SG1008P / 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch) is an unmanaged desktop network switch engineered to simplify wired data transmission and power distribution for small business networks, IP surveillance systems, and home office setups. Equipped with 8× 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 ports, ports 1 through 4 support the IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ standard, delivering up to 30W of power per port with a total PoE power budget of 64W.
This enables a single Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable to transmit both high-speed data and electrical power directly to IP security cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring additional electrical wiring. Housed in a durable, compact metal casing with a fanless design, the TP-Link TL-SG1008P incorporates 802.1p/DSCP Quality of Service (QoS), IGMP Snooping, Intelligent Power Management, and hassle-free plug-and-play setup.
