It significantly reduces cabling requirements and simplifies deployments for various PoE-enabled devices.

Core Network Metrics

Smart Power Delivery

This switch features seven Gigabit PoE input ports. These allow it to draw power directly from user outlets via PoE injectors. An additional PoE output port can then power devices like CPEs. This design simplifies power management across your network.

Flexible Device Power

Beyond its PoE capabilities, the TL-RP108GE also includes a DC output port. This port offers selectable 5 V and 12 V output voltages. You can use it to power various devices, such as ONTs, offering greater flexibility.

Advanced Network Control

As a managed switch, it supports L2 features including VLANs and QoS. These capabilities provide granular control over your network traffic. You can prioritise data and segment your network effectively.

Optimised for Efficiency

The integration of data switching and PoE in one compact unit saves valuable space. It also minimises the need for separate electrical outlets. This design lowers deployment costs and simplifies installation routines.

Seamless Network Integration

With support for IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3u, and other key networking standards, this switch integrates smoothly into existing Gigabit Ethernet environments. Features like broadcast storm control and loop protection ensure stable network operation.

Before You Order

• Confirm your power source can supply 5 V at 1A DC.
• Confirm devices you intend to power require Passive PoE.
• Ensure your network setup benefits from managed L2 switching.
