Expand Your Network Without Extra Power Outlets

The TL-SF1005P eliminates the need for multiple power adapters by delivering both data and up to 15.4W of power through four PoE ports. This makes it ideal for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones in locations without nearby electrical outlets. The switch automatically detects and supplies power to compatible devices, simplifying installation in offices, retail spaces, or home setups.

Intelligent Power Management Protects Your Devices

When total power demand reaches the 58W limit, the switch activates priority-based power allocation. Ports 1-3 share equal priority, while Port 4 has the lowest priority and will be powered down first if needed. This intelligent overload arrangement prevents system failures and ensures critical devices remain operational during power constraints.

Plug-and-Play Setup for Immediate Use

With its unmanaged design, the TL-SF1005P requires no configuration or technical knowledge. Simply connect your devices and power it on. The auto-negotiation feature ensures optimal connection speeds between devices, while MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging maintain network efficiency without manual intervention.

Compact Desktop Design Fits Any Environment

Measuring just 99.8 x 98 x 25 mm, this black desktop switch sits discreetly on any desk or shelf. LED indicators provide clear status information at a glance, and the included power supply eliminates the need for separate adapters. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
