This 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch with 4-Port PoE provides a seamless network connection. It integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet network capabilities. The switch features 8 Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports, with ports 1 to 4 supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE). These PoE ports automatically detect and supply power to IEEE 802.3af compliant Powered Devices (PDs), transmitting electrical power along with data over a single cable. This allows for network expansion in areas without power lines or outlets, ideal for devices like Access Points, IP Cameras, or IP Phones. The TL-SG1008P includes an overload arrangement with a priority function to protect the system when power is overloaded. If the total PoE power consumption exceeds 53W, the system will cut power to the lowest-priority port to maintain stability. For example, if Ports 1, 2, and 4 each use 15.4W (maximum per port), totaling 46.2W, and an additional PD is connected to Port 3 requiring 10W, the system will cut power to Port 4 to protect itself. In this scenario, Ports 1 and 2 will operate at 15.4W each, and Port 3 will use 10W, with no power supplied to Port 4. The TL-SG1008P is easy to install and use, requiring no configuration. Its desktop design, outstanding performance, and quality make it a great choice for expanding your home or office network.
