TP-Link TL-SG1008MP 8-port Gigabit PoE+ network switch

Eight PoE+ ports for powered devices

The TL-SG1008MP is an unmanaged Gigabit switch with eight RJ45 ports that all support the PoE+ standard. It delivers both data and up to 30W per port over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying deployments of wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones. A total power budget of 126W allows several high-draw devices to run simultaneously. The desktop or rack-mountable format fits common installation scenarios.

Suits small offices adding powered endpoints

This switch is designed for networks that need to power PoE+ devices without a separate injector or managed configuration. It works where a plug-and-play Gigabit uplink and 126W of PoE budget cover the current device count. Builders who require VLANs, QoS, link aggregation or a higher total PoE budget should consider a managed or higher-capacity model instead.

126 W total PoE budget decides capacity

The single figure that determines whether this unit fits the job is the 126W power budget shared across all eight ports. Add the maximum draw of every connected PoE+ device; if the sum stays at or below 126W the switch can power them all, otherwise an additional power source or a switch with a larger budget is required.
