TP-Link Managed PoE Network Switch

TP-Link TL-SG1016PE | 16-Port Gigabit Managed PoE+ Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG1016PE network switch Managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Black delivers a robust 16-port solution with 8 PoE+ ports, perfect for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without extra power supplies.

Slim Specs Table

Smart Power Delivery for Business Networks

With 8 PoE+ ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at, this switch can automatically detect and deliver up to 30 W per port. That means you can run multiple wireless APs, IP cameras, or IP phones across your site without running new power cables. The total 110 W PoE budget ensures reliable operation even when multiple high-draw devices are connected simultaneously.

Advanced Managed Features for Network Control

As a fully managed Layer 2 switch, the TL-SG1016PE offers VLAN support for up to 4,000 VLANs, port-based and tagged VLANs, and IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic. Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation keeps critical traffic flowing smoothly, while port mirroring and rate limiting give you full visibility and control over network performance.

Overload Protection Keeps Your Network Safe

When total PoE demand approaches the 110 W limit, the switch’s priority-based overload protection kicks in automatically. Ports are prioritised (1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8), so if power is exceeded, the lowest-priority port loses PoE first. This intelligent arrangement prevents system crashes and ensures your most critical devices stay powered.

Silent, Space-Saving Design for Any Environment

The fanless design means silent operation—ideal for offices, retail spaces, or quiet work areas. Its compact 294 x 180 x 44 mm desktop/rack-mountable chassis fits neatly into standard 19″ racks or sits unobtrusively on a desk. LED indicators provide instant status updates without the need for complex monitoring tools.
