TP-Link TL-SG108PE Managed Gigabit Switch with PoE

TP-Link TL-SG108PE | 8-Port Gigabit Smart PoE Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG108PE network switch Managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Black is a versatile 8-port smart switch designed for small businesses needing network management and PoE capability. With 4 PoE ports, it can power devices like wireless APs, IP cameras, and VoIP phones directly through Ethernet cabling, eliminating the need for separate power adapters.

Key Specifications

Power Your Network Devices Directly

Four of the eight Gigabit ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering up to 15.4W per port to compatible devices. This means you can connect and power IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without running separate power cables. The switch automatically detects PoE-compatible devices and supplies power accordingly, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.

Advanced Network Management Made Simple

The TL-SG108PE offers enterprise-grade features through an intuitive web interface. Monitor network traffic patterns, prioritize critical applications using QoS settings, and implement VLAN segmentation for enhanced security. Port mirroring allows you to analyze traffic for troubleshooting, while IGMP snooping optimizes multicast traffic for streaming applications. These management capabilities give you visibility and control without the complexity of enterprise switches.

Built for Reliability and Performance

With a switching capacity of 16 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 11.9 million packets per second, this switch delivers wire-speed performance across all ports. The 1.5MB packet buffer ensures smooth data flow during traffic bursts, while support for jumbo frames up to 15KB improves performance for large file transfers. Loop protection and broadcast storm control prevent network issues that could disrupt business operations.
