The TL-SG1008MP is a Gigabit desktop and rack switch with 8 ports, all of which support the PoE+ standard. It provides an easy way to expand a wired network by transmitting power and data over a single Ethernet cable. With a total power budget of 153 W and up to 30 W per port, the TL-SG1008MP can power more demanding devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, or IP phones. Additionally, the TL-SG1008MP features innovative, energy-efficient technology that reduces power consumption, making it an environmentally friendly solution for your business network.

All 8 ports of the TL-SG1008MP support the PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) standard, allowing for the automatic detection and powering of all IEEE 802.3af/at compatible devices. Electrical power is transmitted along with data in a single cable, enabling network expansion when no electrical cables or outlets are available, and powering devices such as access points, IP cameras, or IP phones.

The TL-SG1008MP includes a priority feature that protects the system during overload. If the total power consumption of all PoE+ devices is greater than or equal to 153 W, a priority is established among the 8 PoE+ ports. In this case, the system will cut power to the port with the lowest priority.

The priority arrangement is as follows: Port 1 > Port 2 > Port 3 > Port 4 > Port 5 > Port 6 > Port 7 > Port 8. This feature safeguards the system in the event of power overload. For example, if Ports 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 each use 30 W (the maximum power per port is 30 W, with a total system power of 153 W) and an additional device using 25 W is plugged into Port 3, the system will cut power to the port with the lowest priority.
