TP-Link ES208GP Omada | 8-Port Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch

The TP-Link ES208GP Omada 8-Port Managed Gigabit Switch delivers robust Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities in a compact DIN rail form factor. Designed for UK network installers, this switch provides eight Gigabit PoE+ ports with a 64 W total power budget, making it ideal for powering IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without separate power supplies.

Key Specifications

Centralised Network Control

The ES208GP integrates seamlessly with TP-Link’s Omada SDN ecosystem, allowing centralised management via the Omada Controller software or mobile app. This means you can monitor and configure multiple switches across your network from a single interface, reducing setup time and simplifying troubleshooting for UK-based installations.

Power Over Ethernet Plus Flexibility

With eight PoE+ ports supporting IEEE 802.3at/af standards, this switch can deliver up to 30W per port where needed. The 64W total budget provides flexibility for mixed device deployments—powering everything from standard IP cameras to more demanding wireless access points without additional electrical work.

Advanced Network Security & Performance

Built-in features like VLAN support (4000 VLANs), port isolation, and loop protection create secure network segments while preventing broadcast storms. IGMP snooping optimises multicast traffic for IPTV and surveillance systems, while QoS prioritisation ensures critical applications receive bandwidth priority across your UK network.
