16 PoE+ ports with gigabit uplinks

The TP-Link TL-SL1218MP is an 18-port desktop switch designed for networks that need powered devices and fast uplinks. It provides sixteen 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports with PoE+ and two dedicated gigabit RJ45 ports alongside two combo SFP slots. The unit delivers up to 30 W per PoE port with a 194 W total budget. No configuration is required for basic operation.

Suits IP camera and access point deployments

This switch fits installations where many PoE endpoints connect over 10/100 Mbps links and aggregate through gigabit uplinks. Extend mode pushes data and power to 250 m for surveillance runs. Priority mode protects video or voice quality on selected ports. It is not for networks that require gigabit speed to every endpoint or PoE++ power levels above 30 W per port.

194 W total PoE budget

The 194 W power budget across the sixteen PoE+ ports is the figure that determines how many devices you can run simultaneously. Each port can draw up to 30 W under the 802.3 af/at standard. Add the per-device power requirements and compare the sum to 194 W to confirm the switch supports your deployment.

Questions about this item

Which devices need a 10/100Mbps RJ45 port to connect to the 16 PoE+ ports?

IP cameras, access points, IP phones, computers, printers or any network device with a 10/100Mbps RJ45 port can plug directly into the 16 PoE+ ports and receive up to 30 W each.

Can the 2 gigabit RJ45 ports and 2 combo SFP slots link to an existing gigabit backbone?

Yes, the two 1000Mbps RJ45 ports and two combo SFP slots operate at gigabit speed, so they can uplink to an existing gigabit switch or router without a bottleneck.

How do I confirm the switch is delivering power to a connected camera?

When a PoE device is connected, the corresponding port LED lights to show power is active; the total draw across all 16 ports will not exceed 194 W.
