  • 16 PoE+ ports deliver up to 30W each with 250W total budget
  • Two combo SFP slots enable high-speed fibre uplinks alongside copper links
  • Automatic PoE reboot restores unresponsive powered devices without manual intervention
  • Port-based QoS and IGMP snooping prioritise voice and video traffic

16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch for SMB Networks

This TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE delivers 16 PoE+ RJ45 ports compliant with 802.3af/at standards, each supplying up to 30W for devices like IP cameras or access points. It includes two additional non-PoE Gigabit ports and two combo SFP slots for fibre uplinks. The unit suits small to medium business deployments needing centralised power and data distribution.

250W Power Budget and Port Priority Limits

The switch offers a total PoE power budget of 250W, though the supplier notes 192W for the 16 PoE ports under high load. When connected devices meet or exceed the budget, lower-priority ports are automatically disabled to prevent overload. Each port handles 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, and the combo SFP slots provide flexible high-speed uplink options.

Check Rack Space and Uplink Needs Before Buying

This is a managed switch with a web-based interface and smart configuration utility supporting VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping and LAG. Verify you have adequate rack or desktop space for a 16-port unit and confirm whether your uplink requires copper or SFP transceivers. The device includes an auto-reboot feature for unresponsive PoE devices, reducing manual maintenance.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 PoE+ ports or the 2 combo SFP slots for my uplinks?

Use the 16 PoE+ ports for powered devices such as cameras or access points; the 2 combo SFP slots are for fibre or copper uplinks to the core network.

What does the 250 W PoE budget mean when every port can draw 30 W?

The 250 W budget powers all 16 PoE+ ports simultaneously, but if total draw reaches 250 W the switch disables lower-priority ports to stay within the limit.

How does the 802.3at standard cap the power on each port?

Each PoE+ port is limited to 30 W by the 802.3at standard, so no single device can draw more than that regardless of the overall budget.
