TP-Link TL-SF1008P Unmanaged PoE Switch

TP-Link TL-SF1008P | 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch

The TP-Link TL-SF1008P network switch Unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Olive delivers a simple, no-configuration solution for expanding networks with power-hungry devices. This 8-port unmanaged switch includes 4 PoE ports, making it ideal for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without extra power adapters.

Key Specifications

Power Over Ethernet Made Simple

The TL-SF1008P automatically detects and powers IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices across four ports, delivering up to 15.4 W per port. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies near your devices, letting you install IP cameras or access points wherever cabling reaches—no power outlet required.

Smart Overload Protection

When total PoE power draw reaches 57 W, the switch prioritises power delivery: ports 1, 2, and 3 receive power first, while port 4 shuts down to prevent overload. This ensures critical devices stay online even under heavy load, protecting your network from unexpected power failures.

Plug-and-Play Installation

No configuration is needed—just connect your devices and power on. The compact desktop design fits neatly on any desk or shelf, and with zero fans, it operates silently. LED indicators provide instant status updates for each port’s link and activity.
