TP-Link DS105GP 5-Port Gigabit Desktop PoE+ Switch

Overview

The DS105GP is an unmanaged network switch purpose-built for compact surveillance and IoT deployments where central power delivery is required. Four gigabit ports support IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ with a 65 W shared power budget, sufficient to power up to four mid-range IP cameras or network devices simultaneously. The fifth port is standard gigabit Ethernet (non-PoE), allowing uplink to an edge router or recorder. Desktop steel enclosure with plug-and-play operation eliminates configuration overhead—no management interface or VLAN setup required. Useful in small branch locations, retail environments, and warehouse zones where a dedicated PoE injector would introduce unnecessary cost or physical clutter.

Compatibility

Works with any IP camera, access control device, or network endpoint drawing power within 802.3af/at specification (up to 30W per port). Compatible with standard Ethernet runs up to 100 meters. No compatibility restrictions based on camera brand or manufacturer—interoperability is standard at the gigabit layer.

Key Specifications

PoE Power Budget: 65 W total across four PoE+ ports—allocate approximately 15–16 W per port for simultaneous multi-device operation to avoid power contention.

Port Configuration: 4× Gigabit PoE+, 1× Gigabit standard Ethernet (uplink)—provides flexibility for mixed powered and unpowered device trees.

Enclosure: Desktop steel case rated for indoor office or utility rack environments; not sealed for outdoor use.

Installation Notes

Connect powered devices to any of the four PoE+ ports. Route uplink traffic through the standard gigabit port to your network core or wireless access point. No CLI or web interface configuration needed. Ensure power source (typically 12VDC external adapter) is provisioned before connecting devices to avoid brown-out scenarios during boot.
